Meal Prep Overnight Oats

 

EVERYDAY COFFEE OVERNIGHT OATS

This one’s a little energy boost for the morning! It’s really easy to make – just mix all of the ingredients together and store in airtight jars or containers.
I usually eat my coffee overnight oats plain, but I’ve listed some of my favorite toppings below!

Ingredients (for 1 serving):
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 2 tsp chia seeds
– 1 tbsp *almond butter
– 2 tsp instant coffee powder (I use freeze-dried)
– 2 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 3/4 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)

Ingredients (for 4 servings):
– 2 cups rolled oats
– 8 tsp chia seeds
– 1/4 cup *almond butter
– 8 tsp instant coffee (I use freeze-dried)
– 8 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 3 cups milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)

Ingredients (for 5 servings):
– 2 + 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 10 tsp chia seeds
– 5 tbsp *almond butter (I use freeze-dried)
– 10 tsp instant coffee
– 10 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 3 + 3/4 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)

*Almond butter: peanut butter also works, however it will give the overnight oats a peanut butter-coffee flavor – instead of just plain coffee flavor. Both are nice!

Calories per serving: Roughly 375 calories without toppings

Suggested toppings:
– Blueberries
– Banana slices
– Fresh medjool dates (chopped in pieces)
– Almond butter
– Dry roasted almonds
– Pecan nuts
– Vanilla yogurt
– A sprinkle of instant coffee powder

UPGRADED VANILLA OVERNIGHT OATS

I’ve shared many plain or classic vanilla overnight oats on my blog and YouTube channel before, but this is seriously upgraded! I’ve been working on it and tweaking it, and it’s really delicious! I’ve also been blending the oats for this one before mixing them with the other ingredients, but it works just as well with them left whole. This is essentially a “blank canvas” and works with just about any toppings, but I’ve suggested some of my favorites below. I also sometimes just eat it plain!

Ingredients (for 1 serving):
– 1/2 cup rolled oats (blended or left whole)
– 2 tsp chia seeds
– 2 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)
– 1/2 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)

Ingredients (for 4 servings):
– 2 cups rolled oats (blended or left whole)
– 8 tsp chia seeds
– 8 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)
– 2 cups milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)

Ingredients (for 5 servings):
– 2 + 1/2 cup rolled oats (blended or left whole)
– 10 tsp chia seeds
– 10 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 2 + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 + 1/4 cups plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)
– 2 + 1/2 cups milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)

Calories per serving: Roughly 290 calories without toppings

Suggested toppings (but goes with any fruit, nuts or nut butter!):
– Pineapple and blueberries
– Raspberries and almond butter
– Banana slices and peanut butter
– Banana slices, almond butter and a sprinkle of instant coffee powder
– Strawberry slices and dry roasted almonds
– Almond butter/ peanut butter and dark chocolate chips

RASPBERRY OVERNIGHT OATS

This is a new favorite of mine, and it’s really easy to make! Just blend the raspberries and milk together before mixing them with all the other ingredients. Then, store in airtight jars or containers. I like to eat mine with fresh raspberries on top!

Ingredients (for 1 serving):
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 2 tsp chia seeds
– 1/2 cup frozen raspberries (or fresh)
– 1/2 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
– 1 tbsp plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)

– 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Ingredients (for 4 servings):
– 2 cup rolled oats
– 8 tsp chia seeds
– 2 cups frozen raspberries (or fresh)
– 2 cups milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
– 1/4 cup yogurt
– 4 to 8 tsp sweetener (I like 8, I use maple syrup)
– 2 tsp lemon juice

Ingredients (for 5 servings):
