I'm back with another version of my overnight oats. I decided on this combination, as I was making the oats.
What I love about this recipe is that the base is always going to be the same. It also helps that the base recipe is 1:1:1. 1/3 of everything.
You really can't get simpler than that.
So here's how I started my day on Saturday.
Strawberry Banana Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 1/3 C Old-Fashioned Oats
- 1/3 C Milk (Skim, Almond, Whole - doesn't matter just use your fave - I like Unsweetened Vanilla Almond)
- 1/3 C Plain or Vanilla Greek or Regular Yogurt (vanilla is my go to)
- 1 Medium Banana
- 1 Tsp Chia Seeds
- Small Handful Slivered Almonds
- 1/3 C Sliced Strawberries (mine were frozen)
- Cinnamon
- Honey or Agave (I used honey)
Directions
- Pick a container that will not leak or break when you shake the ever living crap out of it. Mash half of the banana into said vessel.
- Add the Oats, Milk, Yogurt, Chia Seeds, and Strawberries. Add a good dash of cinnamon, or your preference, to the concoction.
- Close up your jar, bowl, or whatever you're using and shake the ever living crap out of it. I like my oats well blended. I sometimes turn it into a quick arm exercise. Place in refrigerator and let it make it's magic overnight.
- Top with almonds, and a bit of honey, to taste, the next morning.
A couple of notes -
- I don't like cold oats, so I zap my jar after the last step for a minute in the microwave. The jar gets hot, but the oats aren't. I stir the mixture and then dig in. The oats are the perfect temp. Not to hot and not too cold.
- I've also added nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice in place of and in addition to the cinnamon. They're all delicious. My Banana Walnut Overnight Oats recipe is {HERE}.
- Some recipes tell you to let the jar rest for 8 hours in the fridge before digging in. I'm not always that great of a planner, and I've dug into my oats after only 5 hours. They've still been delicious.
I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I did.
Cheers!
Cheers!
