Overnight Oats - the magical breakfast

So, I get asked often for easy breakfast ideas.  Doesn't get much easier than overnight oats!!  You prep ahead, and then they are grab and go.  I love it when things happen magically overnight.  WIN!!  Plus, they are 21 Day Fix friendly, for all my Fix challengers.  You can mix and match with your purple containers - pick whatever fruit fits your fancy; and same with your orange container - can be chia, flax, or chopped nuts.  Lots of options, so you'll never get bored!  Here are a couple varieties to try...









Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1/4 cup low fat greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or enough to fill the jar.

In a 1/2 pint jar or 1 cup jar put in the oats, milk, greek yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon and honey.  Put the lid on and shake that up!  Open up the jar and add in the applesauce to the top, cover and shake.  Refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Eat chilled!











Maple Blueberry Oatmeal
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1/4 cup low fat greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/4 cup blueberries or enough to fill the jar.

In a 1/2 pint jar or 1 cup jar put in the oats, milk, greek yogurt, chia seeds and maple syrup.  Put the lid on and shake that up!  Open up the jar and add in the blueberries to the top, cover and shake.  Refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Eat chilled!







Raspberry Vanilla Oatmeal
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1/4 cup low fat greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon raspberry jam, preserves or spread
1/4 cup raspberries or enough to fill the jar.

In a 1/2 pint jar or 1 cup jar put in the oats, milk, greek yogurt, chia seeds, preserves and vanilla extract.  Put the lid on and shake that up!  Open up the jar and add in the blueberries to the top, cover and shake.  Refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Eat chilled!

With fall coming, I'm thinking a pumpkin pie variation is coming soon!  Stay tuned!!
