What I love most about Overnight Oats is how nutrient rich and filling they are, plus the ingredients are ones I always have on hand. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day so it’s nice to get started with something that isn’t just empty carbs. Five minutes invested in the evening and your breakfast is waiting for you when you are ready for it. It’s got great staying power and will keep you satisfied till lunch.

Ingredients for Strawberry Overnight Oats

• Yogurt—we use strawberry, but plain, Greek, vanilla or a non-dairy yogurt all work great.
• Milk—we use plain or vanilla almond milk, but any type of milk or soy milk will work.
• Oats—we use name-brand, old-fashioned, rolled oats.
• Fresh strawberries & bananas or other seasonal fruit (peaches are particularly yummy when available).
• Chia seeds (optional)—adds nutrients as well as a thick and creamy texture.
