Overnight oats

I know it seems like a bit of a pain but I did overnight oats in a small glass jar (£1 b&m), I used oats,chia,strawberries and a little honey andi just couldn't finish it.IT was so filling,so I will have the rest later as a snack....

Excellent sugar and it saves so much time in the morning!

I love overnight oats, I have it most mornings with a variety of different fruits and spices and yes it's very filling which is great for me as breakfast is at 3.45-4am and lunch is 12.30ish, I very rarely feel hungry before lunch xx

Wow! Katmt that is one early breakfast. Respect

I have never tried them but you have spurred me on to have a go.

I might give that a try too, I'm a real fan of porridge. What weight of oats did you use?

[Hidden in reply to JiminyCricket]

I used 40g and layered it.

[Ceals]

I love overnight oats even more than I love porridge. I make so many different flavours. Always delicious.

my 'go to' breakfast now. I do mine with Yeo valley Lemon Curd yoghurt and fruit, tastes so fresh.

[Ceals in reply to lucigret]

Interesting idea Lucigret

[lucigret in reply to Ceals]

I do it with all sorts of yoghurt, but the lemon is my favourite. I don't drink milk and I don't like the idea of fruit juice with oats, so yoghurt it is.

I cant have milk so almond milk was lovely.

[Ceals in reply to Hidden]

I tend to use homemade cashew nut milk which is just delicious. Going to try making my own almond milk this week.

[Hidden in reply to Ceals]

I did actually buy a nut straining bag to do just that,I just haven't got round to doing it yet.

[Ceals in reply to Hidden]

There is generally no need to strain if using cashews as they get pulverised so well in the blender. Which is probably why i have been so lazy about trying almond milk.

[Hidden in reply to Ceals]

Oooo ok cashew nut milk I shall try first then,thanks.

I have been using overnight oats for a while its the bezt breakfast ever 😊 I use 2 recpies:

1. 1/4 cup of old fashioned oats (Scotts porage oats)

1/3 cup of semi skimmed milk

1/4 cup of 0% natural yogurt

1 1/2 teaspoons of Chia seeds

1 tbsp of peanut butter

Give it a really good shake then add 1/2 a banana and pop in the fridge overnight.

2. 1/4 cup of old fashioned oats (Scotts porage oats)

1/3 cup of semi skimmed milk

1/4 cup of 0% natural yogurt

1 1/2 teaspoons of Chai seeds

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Give it a really good shake then add 1/4 cup of apple sauce (I use Batts Bramley Apple Sauce from Lidl) and pop in the fridge overnight.

Great for a breakfast on the go, you can add 1 tsp of honey if its not sweet enough, however that of course will increase the calories. You can also make to or three at once and they will last.

Enjoy 😊

I am going to try to make some overnight oats tonight

[Jacky63]

That sounds like a good idea. Anything to keep the hunger pains at bay for the whole morning!

[Katrina321]

I too have recently started this and it isn't too much of a faff, healthy, filling and well worth the effort.

[Sheryl1992]

I have made my overnight oats and put them in the fridge ready for tomorrow morning

I take in to work every morning. I add a good teaspoon of cinnamon, frozen cherries and 0% fat Greek yoghurt. Yummy and filling.

[Sheryl1992]

The overnight oats I made are really lovely. I couldn't eat the whole batch I made so I still have some in the fridge but I really like them
