APRIL = OVERNIGHT OATS.
Anyone else with me?
You may not know this, but I eat oatmeal EVERY SINGLE MORNING (unless it’s the weekend). Oats + Banana + PB is my favorite combination. During the warmer months, I like to mix it up and eat Overnight Oats, but soaking my oats in a liquid such as almond milk, Greek yogurt, etc.
Must-Have Ingredients for Overnight Oats
- Liquid (almond milk, milk, Kiefer, etc)
- Rolled Oats
- Chia Seeds
- Sweetener (maple syrup, honey, etc.)
I like to mix Greek yogurt and almond milk for my liquid. I have found that using rolled oats gives it a much better texture. Chia seeds make everything better and add a healthy dose of Omegas to your meal. If you don’t use sweet almond milk or a flavored yogurt, I suggested a few teaspoons of honey, but that’s just my preference!
This time around. I decided to bring strawberries center stage and puree them with Greek yogurt and almond milk. Almost like a smoothie. When making overnight oats, I also try and keep the 2:1 ratio of liquid to oats.
I am a toppings girl. I love mixing textures. On top of this guy, I added sliced banana, strawberries, and chopped pistachios. I’d say that this recipe serves 3 IF you plan on loading the toppings like I do. If you aren’t a toppings person (do they exist?! That’s the best part)- you could probably just split this recipe down the middle.

Thank you for awesome article and amazing photographs! Keep up the good work!
Could you use quick cooking steel cut oats?
I haven’t tried it with that!
Hi, I just made these and they look delicious! How long can I leave them in the fridge? I made multiple servings. Are they good for the week? Thanks!
Loveee this

I made a single serve of this last night, because I wasn’t sure how I’d like it and I’m the only one in the house who eats overnight oats. I sweetened it with a little maple syrup instead of honey and used Noosa brand vanilla bean yogurt, so I left out the vanilla extract. It was incredible! So delicious, I never would’ve thought to blend the berries with my liquid and yogurt. I’ve already made another batch for tomorrow and you’ve got a new follower 🙂 thank you!

The serving size says 1/3 at 321 calories… If I eat the whole thing, is that 963 calories? little confused
That is correct!
i am SO with you – i eat overnight oats/some form of oatmeal basically every weekday. it’s super convenient since i go to the gym in the morning and then eat my breakfast at work right after. also, as you’ve pointed out, the combinations are endless!!!
This is why oatmeal is actually the most bestest food in the whole wide world!
haha I like that you call it a RANT when it’s clearly a RAVE! you are so awesome at networking…I don’t know how you do it!
Also I like that you have the same thing for breakfast everyday…because so do I! PB toast. Every. day.
I guess I don’t know the difference. Is rave more positive than rant?! PB Toast..good choice, my lady!
