Overnight Oats
If you want a quick and easy recipe that is healthy, then try some cold overnight oats to enjoy the next day.
Ingredients:
- Old-fashioned plain/non-flavored oats
- Not instant oats that come with sugar flavor packets, skip this stuff
- Rolled/steel-cut oats should work too, just not instant oatmeal.
- Plain unflavored yogurt
- If you want to use greed yogurt, it has more protein than regular yogurt but costs more so you decide.
- Fruit
- Shredded coconut
- Carob chips
- Almonds
- Whey protein powder
- Milk
- Chia seeds (0ptional)
Steps:
- Start off with some milk and blend with your fruit of choice. Blueberries, strawberries and bananas are what I like.
- Take your blended fruit milkshake and pour it into a glass/plastic container that has a top/lid for it.
- Mix in your oats, whey protein powder, yogurt and chia seeds slowly into your container. I like to manually mix in the protein powder to thicken up the mixture so that it has some sustenance. Oat meal should be thick, you will eat this with a spoon, not drink it.
- Once you have incorporated everything together, place the lid/cover over the oats and place into the refrigerator. Let the oat mixture site overnight and enjoy the next day. The oats and chia seeds with absorb the mixture and thicken overnight. This is what makes the oats taste good.
