Breakfast Bowl: Overnight Oats

I hate when you have breakfast and then you're hungry by 10:30 a.m. That's why these overnight oats are a breakfast staple in our house. They are gluten free, dairy free, healthy, easy, and definitely keep you full through lunch time. 



The best part is, you can make them in advance for a few days. Just make a little oats assembly line, and bam! You have days of breakfast. You can even put the fruit in then, or fresh the morning you eat it.



The most important part is having at 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid, which means just use one measuring cup and you're done. Make these Sunday night and breakfast is ready for Monday... and Tuesday... and Wednesday... you get the point!

Oats... Up close and personal.

Here's the 5 minute recipe for 5 days of breakfast!

Ingredients per serving:
  • 1/2 cup of rolled oats 
  • 1/2 cup of coconut milk (or almond milk)
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • Fruit of choice
Instructions:
  • Put oats and chia seeds in container. 
  • Put milk in container.
  • Put fruit in container (or skip this step if you'll be adding it every morning).
  • Put in fridge until ready to eat.  
You can repeat as necessary - I line up four bowls and scoop in the oats, then pour in the milk and we're good to go.
