Overnight Oats

Making overnight oats can be a huge time saver and they are also a nutritional power house. This recipes packs more than 19 grams of fiber and more than 23 grams of protein in one serving. Test your creativity and mix up the ingredients to create you own nutrient dense go-to breakfast beauties.

Some great combinations of overnight oats I have used the past include cinnamon and banana blueberries and walnuts. You can also add your favorite chopped nut and dried or fresh fruit. Occasionally, I also like to put in premixed trail mix that will have some seeds and dried fruits, maybe some shaved coconut or small shreds of dark chocolate.

Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for the week so have fun, mix up a bunch and start you day with a delicious breakfast. Sometimes I will even heat them up before I eat them. One of my favorites is Bob’s Red Mill Steel Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats.

I also use these to make granola bars as well. Roasting your nuts ahead of time can also give a great flavor to both your granola bars and overnight oats.

Here is a tasty Peanut Butter Granola Bars. 

Sometimes finding breakfast ideas on a plant-based diet can be challenging especially if you don’t eat eggs so using recipes like the overnight oats and granola bars can be a good go to. Give it a try and enjoy!
