Keyword: Greek yogurt, milk, oats
Servings: 1 serving
- ½ cup (40 g) old fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if necessary
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt nonfat, plain and unsweetened
- 2 tsp sweetener of choice to taste
- a pinch of salt
In a mason jar or a glass container, add old-fashioned rolled oats, a pinch of salt, your milk of choice, Greek yogurt, and sweetener if desired.
Stir everything well using a spoon or fork. Make sure to mix from the bottom up—oats can settle and stick at the bottom.
Cover the container with a lid or seal tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Refrigerate the oats for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the creamiest result. Store them on a shelf rather than the fridge door to avoid frequent changes of temperature.
Before serving, give the oats a good stir from bottom to top. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Storage Directions
- To store: Store them a sealed glass jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For best taste and texture, enjoy them within 3 days.
- To freeze: Portion into freezer-safe jars, freeze up to 2 months, and thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. Just stir well before eating!
Nutritional Values
- Nutritional values are estimates, provided for the base recipe without add-ins. These values are just approximations, and for accurate tracking, it’s best to calculate based on your specific ingredients.
- As a sweetener, I used sugar-free maple syrup (which provides no calorie).
- The nutrition of overnight oats will vary depending on mix-ins and toppings.
Nutrition Coach Note
While this recipe is great as a low-calorie option, it may not be enough for everyone, especially if you're active. I recommend pairing it with a protein source or healthy fat (like eggs or peanut butter) to turn it into a more balanced, satisfying breakfast.
