Overnight Oats


Hello! If you enjoy a sweet and slightly tangy fruit combination, these strawberry banana orange oats are perfect for you. The sweetness of the banana blends perfectly with the juicy strawberries and fresh citrus giving a sunshine feel to start the day.


Serving Size: 2 jars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 scoop strawberry protein powder
  • 1 banana
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 4 strawberries (diced very small)
  • 2 small oranges (diced very small)
  • 4 tbsp almond butter or oat spread, divided

Directions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium size mixing bowl.
  2. Add diced strawberries and oranges.
  3. Add all remaining ingredients except almond butter and mix well.
  4. Add 1 tbsp to the bottom of both jars.
  5. Pour the oat mixture in both jars about half way.
  6. Add 1 tbsp almond butter to each jar.
  7. Add remaining oat mixture to each jar.
  8. Let oats sit in the refrigerator overnight or up to 3 days before eating.
  9. When ready to serve top with almonds and walnuts or other desired toppings.

Helpful Tips

  • I love the extra strawberry flavor, but vanilla protein powder would work just as well.
  • To make these oats dairy free, omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead. If omitting the yogurt, I recommend adding an additional banana to maintain a creamy texture.
  • A crunchy almond butter adds a subtle crunch and nutty depth. Vanilla oat spread would work just as well.
  • A spoonful of almond butter enhances both the flavor and the texture of the oats, while adding healthy fats and a boost of plant-based protein. Oat butter is great for texture and balance, and it adds some protein and healthy fats, but less than nut butters.
  • I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
