Overnight oats
Quick, easy, healthy and yummy… what’s not to love?
That’s one recipe to keep in mind for busy mornings. I love that it is very easy to tweak too: you can use different types of milk, top it with whatever is in your pantry - nuts, seeds, dried fruit.
I love berries on my oats, but I don’t buy them when they are not in season, so a great option for me is to use frozen fruit instead. Just put them in a container to thaw in the fridge overnight, and add them to your oats in the morning, with the rest of your toppings.
Overnight oats, made your way
Recipes like this are great because they are flexible and easy to personalise. You can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste, your routine, and what you have available.
This approach is often used within nutrition coaching, where the focus is on building meals that are simple, balanced, and sustainable.
Overnight oats - top them with whatever you like!
Ingredients (4 servings)
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups milk (if using dairy-free, choose unsweetened)
1 cup yogurt (I have tried with both Greek and soy yoghurt, they both worked)
3 tablespoons sweetener of your choice (maple syrup and honey work well)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but I like that it helps with blood sugar levels)
Preparation
Mix everything in a bowl, stir until combined.
Divide into jars - or don’t, and serve directly from the bowl in the morning. This recipe is really flexible, take it, do it, tweak it, you can’t go wrong!
Store in the fridge overnight.
Note: if you are using frozen berries, don’t forget to put then in the fridge to thaw.
In the morning, add your toppings of choice: nuts, seeds, granola, fresh fruit, spices…
Enjoy a healthy, ready-made breakfast that will energise you for the day!
In the morning
Add your toppings of choice such as nuts, seeds, granola, fresh fruit, or extra spices.
If using frozen fruit, make sure it has been left in the fridge overnight to thaw.
How this fits into a balanced lifestyle
Having meals like this prepared in advance can make a big difference when it comes to consistency. It removes decision making in the morning and helps you start your day with something nourishing.
