Overnight Oat Meal Prep Bowls
Ingredients
For oatmeal base:
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups milk of choice, I prefer unsweetened almond, coconut, or cashew
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 4 Tbsps chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon extract
For topping ideas: fresh chopped fruit, or berries of choice. I really love to use frozen fruits and berries to make my oats. Make them your own.
- If using bananas, drizzle them with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
- 1/2 cup of fruit or berries per serving is what I like to aim for.
- Additional Greek yogurt only if desired.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the oatmeal base.
- Stir well to completely incorporate, set aside in your fridge.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fruit you want to use as toppings.
- Divide your oatmeal mixture equally between 4-5 glass meal prep containers, or jars, then top it all up with chopped fruit and a dollop of additional Greek yogurt if desired.
- 1/2 cup of fruit or berries per serving is what I like to aim for.
- Seal and refrigerate overnight for up to five days.
- Before serving, give it all a big stir, and enjoy! (and YES they are eaten cold, just like pudding...just try it!)
