Overnight Oats

Written By Savannah Bukant

A friend recently asked me for my recipe, so I thought I’d add it here! I come back to overnight oats whenever I need a nourishing breakfast that is versatile and easy to grab-and-go on rushed mornings. You can eat it cold or cook it very quickly, since the oats are pre-soaked. Mix and match your flavors and add-ins to make it your own!

Ingredients 

  • ½ c organic rolled oats

  • 1/2-2/3 c milk of choice (I use unsweetened organic soy for added protein) - more if using more flax and chia seeds

  • 10 g collagen powder or other protein powder of choice

  • 2 TBS yogurt of choice

  • 1-2 TBS hemp seed

  • 1 TBS ground flax seed

  • 1-2 tsp chia seeds

  • 1-2 TBS of pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, or sesame seed

  • ½ c fruit such as blueberries chopped apples

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Dash of sea salt and cinnamon, to taste

Instructions 

  • Combine all ingredients in a 16-ounce mason jar or other non-plastic container with a lid. Screw on the lid and shake well to mix.

  • Store the oats in the fridge overnight (I bet you didn’t guess this step :)

  • The next day, remove from the fridge. Taste it to check the flavor and consistency, and add ingredients to adjust to your liking if needed.

  • You can eat it cold or heat on the stove and eat warm. Add your desired toppings and enjoy!
