Overnight Oats

Now that classes are back in session for the Spring semester I rely heavily upon simple, quick, and easy meals. Most often than not, I am eating on the go or someplace other than my home. One of my favorite meals is something you can prep a night of two before and have it on the go or just throw it in your lunch box! It's easy, nutrient dense, and tastes like dessert! This recipe is a basic one I stick with and change up flavors, toppings, and add ins. 

How to: (base)

-1/4-1/2 cup rolled/old fashioned oats (uncooked) (you would have to cook steel cut oats if you choose to use that as your base!) 

-1 scoop whey protein (I mix it up depending on which flavor combo I am looking for: strawberry, cinnamon roll, vanilla, or chocolate) 

-1/4-1/2 c milk (I use cow's milk, but you can use which ever you prefer)

-2 Tbsp chia seeds

-1 Tbsp milled flax seed

-1/2 c plain Greek yogurt (again you can use which ever you prefer, or none at all)

Alright for the creative piece here! 

Add ins or toppings.... essentially endless, but some of my favs:

cacao nibs/powder

chocolate chips

nut butters

spirulina powered 

powdered nut butters

hemp hearts/powder

coconut flakes/shreds 

macha powder

fruit chunks (fresh or frozen)

any nut/seed

dry cereals

granola

goji berries, raisins, dried cranberries, or any other dried fruit

Anything you wish! 

Mix it all up in a container with a lid, pop it in the refrigerator over night, & viola a delicious breakfast, meal, or snack! Have fun with this, create flavor combinations, & satisfy your hunger while feeding your body and mind!
