Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the overnight oats base: In large jar combine all the ingredients for the "Overnight Oats Base". You can use Greek yogurt for added protein, or plant-based yogurt and plant-protein if dairy-free or vegan. Depending on if you want more than one flavor for a batch, you can divide the mixture evenly between 2 or 4 jars if you'd like or make one batch of one single flavor.
  2. For Strawberry Banana version - add chopped strawberries and sliced banana. Stir and close lid; refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  3. For Chocolate Raspberry version - add raspberries, cocoa powder and chocolate chips (if desired). Stir and close lid; refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  4. For Lemon Blueberry version  -  add blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest and lemon extract/oil. Stir and close lid; refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  5. Mixture should take about 2 hours to thicken. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, simply add a couple more tablespoons of milk, stir, and place back in fridge.
  6. Overnight oats should be consumed within 3-4 days time. Enjoy!

Notes

  • 1 If using plant-based protein you may need a couple more splashes of liquid. If mixture is still thick after chilling, just stir in another tablespoon or so of milk.  You'll need 2 16oz jars for the overnight oats base recipe, or smaller jars if dividing up the recipe and making the different flavors.
