Soo let’s talk about breakfast. It’s certainly no secret that breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it kick starts our metabolism, provides us with the necessary energy and fuel for active brain function and really sets the tone for the rest of the day. I mean I don’t know about you, but when I actually take the time to make myself a healthy breakfast, I usually don’t want to eat crap for lunch and dinner – plus I just FEEL better! Ok well herein lies the problem…..I am NOT a morning person.
AT ALL.
Um the struggle is REAL folks. Like we’re talking hit the snooze button at least 5 times, quick shower with a doo doo bun on top of my head with minimalist make up for work because I just don’t want to get up. So making time for a healthy breakfast? Yeah that’s a rare occasion. At least it was until I discovered that overnight oats were the most delicious thing next to my beloved pancakes! And the best part?? Yep they can be made the night before in under 5 minutes. Now you’re speaking my love language! It’s great that I can wake up, grab these on the go on my way in to work and just mix in my blueberries (or any fruit you desire). This is really so simple to make yet so incredibly healthy for you being high in protein and fiber – it’s a win win!
Now I like my overnight oats lightly sweetened and I think the agave, vanilla, cinnamon and blueberries are the perfect combo for just that, however if this recipe is still too bland for you, feel free to add in a pinch of Stevia, a little extra agave/honey or even a little brown sugar. Unlike hot oatmeal, cold oats that have been soaking overnight tend to lose much of their flavor so you really do need to add some sweetness, but the great thing is they are SO creamy the next day! I mean what’s not to love??
The other great thing about this recipe is that it is so easy to play around with! Not a fan of blueberries? Swap in some gooey peanut butter and bananas or even figs with honey. The possibilities are truly endless and it’s pretty fun to mix things up. The basic recipe for overnight oats is equal parts rolled oats, milk and yogurt then adding in your seeds, sweeteners and fruit. BOOM – a delicious breakfast that will keep your tummy satisfied all morning long, making you less likely to eat that unhealthy lunch later in the day.
So keep on hitting that snooze button and enjoy sleeping in those extra 10 minutes because I promise you these overnight oats are worth making. Yes you’re welcome.

I love all the variations you suggested with this as well! Definitely having a plan for breakfast worked out ahead of time seems to work best, since it’s easy to lack time for actually making a healthy breakfast in the morning. Thanks for the great ideas!
You single-handedly changed my life. Well, at least my mornings. I had totally forgotten about overnight oats. And now that figs are in season here in Shanghai, fig and honey overnight oats is ON! BTW, love your blog and writing style. Nice work 🙂

I have my oatmeal every morning but I still like the old fashion way, cooked on the stove. I used to do it in the microwave but when it broke went back to cooking it. Now I don’t use sugar but add a heaping tablespoon of flax and fresh berries, whatever I have on hand.
Now that summer is almost over and only three weeks of camping it is time to get back on track. Campers like to eat so I find it really hard. I have put on ten pounds this summer. I was at my goal weight with loosing 60lbs. Every year it does get harder but am determined not to go back to wear I was.
Looks like a good receipe.
Certainly it has to be delicious!
I love all recipes with blueberries because I love to eat them and paint too !!
