Life is busy, and one great way to simplify mealtime is to prep the day before. Overnight oats have been on-trend for a while now, and for good reason. One small mason jar is packed with fiber, protein, and nutrients. Berries are abundant this time of year, so feel free to swap the blueberries out for strawberries or pitted cherries.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
OPTIONAL ADD-INS:
Scoop of protein powder (add another tablespoon of milk)
A dollop of peanut butter or other nut butter
Mini chocolate chips
Teaspoon of seeds: chia, flax (ground), or sunflower
Chopped nuts
INSTRUCTIONS
Fill a small to medium mason jar with the oats, milk, yogurt, and any optional add-ins. Stir well. Add the blueberries (or other berries) to the top of the jar. Seal the jar and place in the fridge overnight or for five to six hours. Eat cold right out the jar. Enjoy!
