Overnight oats are super easy to make and taste so good, I know I say that a lot but it’s true, these two recipes I’m going to share with you guys literally take 3 minutes and are perfect for having something ready to go for school.
What are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are basically oats that you make the night, or nights, before you eat them in the morning. They consist of oats and milk and some optional ingredients. The oats soak in the milk overnight, hence the name, while refrigerating. They are very popular for their simpleness and overall benefits.
Health Benefits
So what are the benefits of overnight oats? Well, overnight oats are actually pretty healthy, and there’s many, many ways you can eat them. They are rich in fiber and protein, contain minerals and vitamins, and are very healthy for your gut.

Strawberry Overnight Oats- This recipe is amazing. If you’re a fan of the strawberry flavored Quaker oats, these taste just like them!
Prep time: 5 minutes Serving Size: 1 serving
This recipe I kind of made up on my own, so it does not really have a link to go with it.
Ingredients:
¼ cup rolled oats
½ cup milk (almond, plain, soy, whichever one you like)
2 tbsp Greek yogurt (I used vanilla, but you can use plain Greek yogurt if you want. Both work!)
Fresh strawberries 🍓
Directions:
Pour ingredients (except strawberries) into the container. You can use a mason jar or a bowl.
Mix with spoon
Cover and refrigerate
The next morning, microwave the oats for about 45 seconds
Cut up about two fresh strawberries into very small pieces so it’s just like the packet oatmeal and mix in. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds to really get the strawberry flavor
Decorate with bigger slices of strawberries
*Try to keep the oats refrigerated for at least 5 hours. Keep in mind that you can store them for a long time.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe and are ready to become master chefs. (I’m not saying I’m a master chef, because I’m really not. 😂) Anyway, be prepared for a lot of recipes to come because, trust me, I have a lot in store. These are so fun to make and write about so I know I really liked everything about this post. If you did too, give it a heart, and I’ll see you guys next time!
