Benefits of overnight oats

My go-to overnight oats base ingredients
When I make overnight oats, I use 4 base ingredients, no matter what kind I’m making. This helps make sure I’m getting all the right nutrients to keep me full and happy:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon chia seeds
These 4 ingredients have fiber, protein, and fat. And any remaining ingredients help enhance the flavor and keep things interesting!
Ingredients
This particular recipe has a lot of ingredients, but making multiple jars at once helps to maximize your time:
- Rolled oats (Quick oats are fine too, but I like the texture of rolled oats)
- Greek yogurt
- Milk
- Chia seeds
- Honey
- Banana pudding mix
- Sliced banana
- Whipped cream
Additions/Substitutions
Have special dietary needs or want to change things around? Here are a few ideas of things to add or replace:
- Milk: Use a plant-based milk like unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Greek yogurt: Use vanilla Greek yogurt instead, or use a non-dairy yogurt if needed
- Ground flax seed
- Sugar free banana pudding mix
- Maple syrup instead of honey
- Vanilla protein powder instead of banana pudding mix- adds extra protein!
How to make
In two 8-ounce Mason jars, combine the oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, honey, banana pudding mix, and banana slices. Place the lids on top and store in the fridge overnight.
The next morning, add whipped cream on top and enjoy! Add a splash of milk if you’d like to thin it out.
How to store
These overnight oats should be stored in either glass Mason jars or airtight containers, in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for 5-7 days.
