Overnight Oats & A Sephora Freebie!

This is a quick and healthy Overnight Oats recipe to get your morning going on the right foot.  I have seen several recipes in blog land, but I tweaked this one a bit to make it my own.  You mix it all up the night before, and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight...then in the morning you are good to go.  It makes a lot and was very filling.  Mine ended up being a breakfast/lunch combo.  


Recipe:

3/4 cup 1% Milk (or vanilla almond milk)
1/2 cup Old-Fashioned Oats (I used instant oats because that's all I had - either is fine)
1 container Chobani Strawberry/Banana Greek Yogurt
1 Tbs. Ground Flaxseed
1 Tbs. Agave Nectar

The night before I mixed 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup oats, and 1 container of greek yogurt, and 1 Tbs. Flaxseed.  I covered it and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.  In the morning I took it out and added 1/4 cup milk & 1 Tbs. agave nectar.  Mix it all up, and eat cold.

*I may use less Agave Nectar next time - it was a little bit too sweet for me, but still yummy!*

I'm trying to incorporate healthier items into our diet, and this is a great breakfast option.  I would definitely split it into two meals, it's great the next day.

Calories for the whole recipe:  483

Now, I'm off to bake Cinn-A-Rolls.  Not so healthy, but a fun All-Natural treat! 

P.S.

If you're not a Sephora Beauty Insider...You should be!
Tomorrow, Sephora is celebrating Earth Day & giving away a FREE full-size Origins moisturizer if you bring in any empty cosmetic product container to trade in.  Can't beat that win-win situation!



Happy weekend!

  2. I like to let my oatmeal sit whether I eat it hot or cold, because it's more filling when the oats swell! I have to try this recipe, though...it sounds yummy!!
