If you're always in a rush in the mornings and need a quick and healthy breakfast option, look no further than Overnight Oats. This dish is easily customizable to suit both adults and kids' tastes, with protein, fiber, and sweet fruits to keep you full until lunchtime. The best part? You don't even need to cook the oatmeal!
Oatmeal is a great addition to your diet as it contains beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels and support heart health, as well as providing protein, vitamins, and minerals. By adding just a few simple ingredients to your oats the night before, you'll have a delicious breakfast ready and waiting for you in the morning.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 1/3 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a glass container and mix until well combined.
- Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Add your choice of toppings before serving and stir until well combined.
- Enjoy cold or warm in the microwave.
For extra convenience, you can double the recipe and enjoy the oats for up to five days. Mix up the toppings each day to keep things interesting!
Note that the nutritional makeup of the dish will vary depending on the toppings you choose. To mix things up, try adding savory toppings such as avocado, sauteed spinach, or a dash of low-sodium soy sauce.
With just a little bit of preparation the night before, you'll have a delicious and healthy breakfast ready and waiting for you in the morning. Enjoy!
