Hello! How are you doing? Over here it’s pretty good. I am almost done with my health coaching certification and have the final test coming up so I did a lot of reading and listening to lectures over the weekend. Then, I gave myself a break to stop drop and drink wine with a friend. Boom.
Yesterday I was Hungry all day. All all day. Luckily tortillas and cheese and tortillas and guacamole make the best snacks.
It was a rest day so I did a strength workout and contemplated foam rolling…
I don’t eat oatmeal that often in the summer because my body craves colder foods. But I have a ton of oatmeal so I grabbed a few other ingredients from the store to make cold overnight oats in a jar. This mix doesn’t require cooking or protein powder – just throw all the ingredients together and let set. Done and done.
Summer-y Overnight Oats in a Jar
Ingredients: 1/2 cup oats, 1 – 6oz container greek yogurt (your favorite flavor), 1/2 cup diced fruit, splash of milk (any milk works)
I used strawberry greek yogurt and fresh strawberries because they’re in season and super sweet. If you use plain yogurt add a sweetener like honey or stevia. Frozen fruit works too but may change the color of the oats a little more.
Directions: Mix all ingredients. Pour into almost empty nut butter jar.
Place in fridge to set overnight. (Or mix it up before your workout and let it set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.)
Give it a stir in the morning and enjoy!
This is the BEST way to clean out a PB jar!! So good.
This looks so good! I’ve been making smoothies every morning for the past few months now like they’re going out of style! So delicious!
For breakfast I eat whatever I feel like. I tend to eat the same thing over and over until I’m sick of it and then I don’t eat it again. Right now I’m on an oatmeal, fruit and protein kick. I am going to give this recipe a try. Sounds hopeful.
Yum!! I so need to start doing that with almost empty peanut butter jars. Peanut butter is my favorite thing…like its sooo good! I definitely eat a bit different in the summer with more produce and less hot soups for dinners.
Do you keep the jar’s lid on it while it’s in the fridge overnight?
Excited to try this – thanks for the recipe!
Yes. I added more strawberries after it set so it was overflowing.
Definitely! Winter breakfast is all about hot oatmeal or maybe some scrambled eggs, while summer breakfasts are overnight oats, a bowl of fruit, or a smoothie.
We just eat the same breakfast all year round- we still have our winters here in HI (and it does get chilly, goes down to 52-55 degrees in the AM and PM) but it doesn’t really make any difference in our breakfast. We tend to eat more hot foods (like nabe (or hot pot) ) during the winter times.
Your breakfast looks yummy!
Love your look! So Gorg!
I have the same breakfast all year round– some sort of veggie smoothie…I just switch up the ingredients every now and then. On the weekends I cheat and either have my own homemade pancakes (yum!) or bacon and eggs….it’s all about the balance, right? 😉
Love your dress in the first pic! Is it from Stitch Fix?
