Lowkey so good – I was at a race a few weeks ago and the hotel amenities were meager AF but there was a micro and single use coffee maker in the room. I started preparing race-morning oatmeal at 4am. I heated up the water in the coffee maker, poured it into my bowl of oats, and was stunned when I realized I had forgotten to remove the coffee filter from the pot before running the water through! Brown, coffee-flavored apple cinnamon oatmeal. Was pretty darn good!
If you stir it up a bit it still will kind of blob but it will be many delicious blobs throughout kind of like finding a pot of gold in every couple of bites.
Rolled oats, water (or milk), greek yogurt, PB2, Protein powder…..mix well and stick in the fridge. Next day you add any or all of the following: banana, choc chips, berries, sliced almonds/pecans/walnut pieces. amounts vary as to how much you want to make. i make each little container individually so it comes out to about 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup yogurt, 2 T PB2, 1 scoop protein powder then milk or water to mix it all well and be a little loose (it will firm up overnight). fresh ingredients/honey go in just before eating.
Here you all go!
40g Jumbo oats
30g Mixed nuts (Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts)
Tbs chia seeds
Tbs mixed seeds (sesame, poppy, linseed)
Tsp cinnamon powder
Tsp cocoa powder
Sprinkling of sunflower and pumpkin seeds
50g frozen blueberries
Handful of fresh fruit – varies daily but is usually one of the following: banana, kiwi fruit, mango, pineapple or melon
One raw egg, beaten
150ml homemade kefir
Tbs Udo’s ultimate blend oil
Stir everything well
Add a generous dollop of Greek yogurt on top
Cover and refrigerate overnight – ready to eat next morning.
Not really “overnight oats”, but last night I setup my rice cooker to make oats and woke up to warm steel cut oats this morning. I used the “recipe” on NYT, but it was just a cup of oats, 3.5c water and a tsp of salt. Very easy and enough to share with my family.
That works for me:
I heat water 2 minutes on microwave and add 2 scoops (50g). It gives me (aprox.) 16g carbs and 21g protein. I usually add nuts, sunflower and flax seeds, and a few blueberries.
For hard workouts in the morning I also add an generous honey spoon or better: change to a rice cream pudding (30-35g carbs, 3g protein)
Hope it helps, it works for me!. What do you think?
I usually use rolled oats for overnight jars because they soften well without getting mushy. I go with about 1:1.25 oats to milk ratio and add things like chia seeds, cinnamon, or vanilla while they soak overnight. Fruit, nut butter, or granola I usually add in the morning. Make sure to shake the jar before eating so everything mixes nicely!
