I’m always looking for a yummy, healthy, FAST breakfast option. Most of the time, I end up shoving down some sourdough toast, smeared with a little butter. This recipe is so simple, even I, the queen of “I don’t want a recipe, they take too long to read”, will actually make. And they taste so good, I couldn’t even wait overnight. I made it about 2hrs…..
This recipe is also great because it helps use up that last little bit of milk and either yogurt or kefir. Or those last few berries, or whatever your favorite fruit may be.
Fruity overnight oat meal prep
Ingredients (This is PER JAR)
3/4-1 cup oats (I like steel cut because I prefer a firmer oat texture)
1tbsp chia seeds
1/4 cup kefir or yogurt
1/2-1tbsp honey (to your taste. optional: substitute maple syrup)
About 1/2 cup of milk
about 1/3 cup of fruit
4 jars (I used pint sized to allow the oats and chia seeds room to expand)
Instructions
1. Add dry ingredients to each jar.
2.Add wet ingredients.
3. Add fruit of choice (I love strawberries and raspberries so those usually make an appearance in mine)
4. place lid on each jar, shake jars to roughly combine.
5. Place jars in fridge and store overnight…..or eat them as a snack in 2hrs…. :)
THAT’S IT. 6 ingredients, 5 steps and you have breakfast for like the whole week. I like to make them before bed (I also make my cold brew coffee at this time!) so I can wake up and not have to think. Just grab my jar and GO!
