Or at least people that like to stay full for EVER.
Overnight oats are reallllly simple. Mix equal parts of old fashion oats, milk and yogurt. Combine in a bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Old fashion oats come out
much better than quick oats. I've tried both.
The flavour comes from what you mix in. We've been using unsweetened vanilla almond milk, plain yogurt for me and vanilla yogurt for my H.
We started off mixing in frozen fruit. A handful of (frozen) blueberries, or raspberries with the oats at night, and then 1/2 a banana each in the morning. A dash of cinnamon or a small bit of honey lend some extra flavour. This week we've been trying out pumpkin puree and playing around with adding in other things.
You can absolutely make it without protein powder. My H likes it with it because it helps keep him feeling full for WAY longer, and I like it because it helps me hit my protein goals for the day.
This site has some great ideas for mix-ins.
Oh, and we also zap ours in the microwave for a minute or so (stirring halfway) to take the chill off and warm them up. I prefer my oats warm.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
