If you don't have time to make breakfast in the mornings, Overnight Oats are a meal prep game-changer. Healthy, delicious, and super easy to prep - you can have a work week's worth of breakfast prepared in minutes. I especially love them because they keep me feeling full for hours.

There are a ton of different and fun flavours to try - here I'll show you 6 of my favourite overnight oats flavour combinations, everything from bold and decadent to fruity and tropical.

NOTE #1: For all recipes, refrigerate overnight for the best texture - but if you don't have time, make sure to refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. The longer they soak, the softer and creamier they'll taste!

NOTE #2: While there are different types of oats, Rolled Oats are ideal for Overnight Oats:
► Rolled Oats have been cooked, dried and rolled flat
► Steel Cut Oats are RAW and need to be cooked first (for roughly 30-40 mins) before consumption
► Quick Oats are rolled oats that have been cut into thinner, smaller flakes - making them too mushy for Overnight Oats and not ideal

  • I add a scoop of protein powder to mine. It's the perfect breakfast/post workout meal.
  • @MrFredstt
    The banana one looks incredibly delicious. Can't go wrong with banana, cinnamon, and vanilla
  • @dreadeye5127
    For the metric size and us that don't meassure in cups. 1/2 cup=1.2dl or 120ml.😊 Thx for a great video. Trying them out now🙏
  • These are some FANTASTIC ideas. I like to make cranberry orange overnite oats. To the base oats, add about 1/8cup dried cranberries soaked in the juice and zest of half of a large orange, or about 3 tbsp orange juice. I also add about 1 tbsp ground flax seed, it adds fiber and a slightly nutty note.

    My wife and I love the Mocha Latte, and I've GOT to try that Chocolate Peanut Butter cup! That cracking sound into the chocolate shell is everything!
  • @TheyCallMeHBomb
    So I just made 3 of these: the banana bread, peanut butter cup and then I changed the mocha latte recipe a bit as I don't like coffee and oats together, so I made it into a chocolate coconut mix. Needless to say, all of them are delicious. I prepped 3 500ml jars so I have breakfast for the entire week. Amazing recipe, thank you!
  • Your overnight oats recipe has become a staple in my breakfast routine! Each flavor variation adds a refreshing twist, making it exciting to wake up to a healthy and delicious meal every morning. In particular, the combination of True Elements Rolled oats with the suggested toppings and mix-ins has been a game-changer. The oats soak up the flavors perfectly, resulting in a creamy and satisfying breakfast bowl. I appreciate your creativity in presenting six flavors that cater to different tastes and preferences. It has made meal prep so much easier and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe and inspiring a healthier start to my day!
  • @msjkramey
    For a sweetener, you can also mash half a banana with your milk before adding it to your oats and chia seeds. That's what I do and it works really well and I don't even really like bananas but I swear by it! So tasty!
