Anyone who knows me also knows that I'm perpetually lazy. There's no cure. And I'm also not a morning person. Which means… I almost never have breakfast.
At least, until I found overnight oats. It's literally a lifesaver. You just throw a bunch of stuff into a jar, shake it up, stick it in the fridge, and you're done! And here's the kicker - they're to die for, and you can use a bunch of different ingredients! In this recipe I use cranberry juice, which is a great source of antioxidants and Vitamin C.
You can make these oats the night before for breakfast, and they can keep for up to 3 days.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of overnight oats
- 1/2 cup of greek yogurt
- 1 cup of cranberry juice
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1/4 cup of strawberry jam
- a handful of craisins
- a tablespoon of dried coconut flakes
Tools:
- measuring spoons
- a large jar (I used a leftover ragu tomato sauce jar, thoroughly washed out)
Directions:
- Combine all the ingredients into the jar except for the craisins and coconut flakes.
- Put the lid on the jar, and shake well.
- Put the jar in the fridge, and leave it there overnight
- Next morning, take the oats out of the fridge, spoon it into a bowl or container, and sprinkle it with the coconut and craisins.
And there you go! Super easy, and really delicious. I'll be putting a recipe up for apple-cinnamon overnight oats soon as well.
