I've heard of overnight oats for years. But there was just something about cold oatmeal that didn't appeal to me. I couldn't even fathom that it would taste decent at. all. Believe it or not...I've even made it in the past and couldn't bring myself to eat it. Craziness. I know....
Fast forward to October 2015. My husband and I spent a week at the Ritz Carlton in Grand Cayman. Not only is the Ritz absolutely AH-MAZING, the food was phenomenal. PHENOMENAL. There was a huge breakfast served every morning. There was also a little cafe at the resort with quick breakfast foods. One of them being what I thought was a parfait. It was actually Muesli made into overnight oats. And it was delicious. I decided to add it to my breakfast options and boy am I glad. There are so many ways to enjoy!
This base is perfection. Yes...it's so simple.
Optional add ins:
bananas
nuts
nut butter
strawberries
blueberries
coconut
cinnamon
coconut sugar
protein powder
chia seeds
flax seed
anything your heart desires....
Now for the hard part.....
equal parts rolled oats (or muesli), yogurt, and milk
yep. that was so difficult! I usually use vanilla yogurt because I like the sweetness. If I use greek yogurt, I add in a bit more milk and a little coconut sugar. (I don't like my oats thick at all)
Stir to combine, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Usually I use 1/4-1/3 cup of each.
You can add in your extras before and top with berries etc the next morning. The world really is your pickle with this one.
Enjoy!
