Nothing beats slowly waking up to a brand new day after a night of sound sleep. I woke up at 6:15am this morning but lounged in bed until around 7am.
It was delicious.
And so was breakfast.
I followed Kath’s Overnight Oats recipe to a T for this morning’s breakfast, except I added an additional 1/3 cup of milk in the morning to thin everything out. I prefer my oats on the thinner vs. thicker side; this was perfect.
1/3 cup uncooked oatmeal
1/3 cup yogurt (used low fat, plain Stoneyfield)
1/3 cup milk (used unsweetened soy)
1/2 Tbsp. chia seeds
1/2 banana, sliced thin
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt
Stir together all ingredients and pop in the fridge overnight. Eat as a chilled breakfast the following morning and top as desired.
Add a little extra milk as desired for thinner consistency.
For toppings, I went with a homemade granola, the other half a banana and a scoop of sunflower butter. What a fun way to start the day. 
Why This Breakfast Works
- Healthy Fats (chia seeds, sunflower butter)
- Protein (milk, yogurt, sunflower butter)
- Healthy Carbohydrates (oatmeal, banana)
QUESTION: What did YOU have for breakfast this morning?
Well now I have a HUGE craving for sunflower butter!
This breakfast looks fantastic–I’ve been looking for interesting ways to eat chia seeds, and this looks like a great use for them. Thanks!
Oh, that’s too funny that you posted this!!! Guess who is making over-night oats tonight for tomorrow’s breakfast… for the first time ever? ME!!
That looks so good!
OMG lounging in bed, not having to rush out of bed, IS THE MOST DELICIOUS THING on the planet!!!!
My bed is already calling my name! lol
Haha, it really is the most delicious thing! I need to do it more often.
I haven’t had overnight oats in ages because I always want hot oatmeal in the winters! I love using Kath’s method too.
This morning for breakfast I had banana egg white oatmeal with chia seeds and cinnamon cooked in, then topped with soy nut butter, more chia seeds, raisins, and sauteed fresh fig.
Oh yum! Your breakfast sounds superb!
