What is overnight oats?

Overnight oats (OO) is basically oats soaked in the liquid of your choice. Either milk or yogurt, but you can always experiment with other kinds. It is often chilled overnight (hence the name) and usually left uncooked. However you can heat it up if you prefer to. It is perfect for days when you are in a rush to make breakfast, just make it in a jar the day before and it’s ready to go the next day. 

You can add any kinds of toppings you want to it. You can add fresh fruits, nuts, dried fruits, peanut butter, etc. Many people also add chia seeds to the overnight oats. Be adventurous and try new additions, you might be pleasantly surprised!

This is also good to put together with your kids, let them play around with their favorite toppings and learn more about fruits and nuts, etc. There’s no or minimal cooking involved, so it’s safe for them as well.

Addicted to peanut butter, but hate all the fat? No worries! You can have your cake and eat it too, with powdered peanut butter! Theres a few brands out there, I use Just Great Stuff’s Powdered Peanut Butter. Theres also PB2. I only had Just Great Stuff’s because they sell it at my Wholefoods so I can’t say if its better or worse than PB2, but PB2 contains sugar where Just Great Stuff’s uses coconut sugar so I guess that’s something to watch out for if you’re watching that. But besides that minor difference they’re nutritionally the same. At 1.5g of fat, 45 calories and 5g of protein per 2tbsp, you can’t go wrong! You can mix these in your smoothies, add them to your pancake mix/ oatmeal/ use it anywhere in place for regular peanut butter. All you have to do is mix in a tiny bit of water to the consistency of your liking! I swear by this stuff. It’s all natural, super healthy, and amazing for that peanut butter fix. Both brands come in chocolate peanut butter as well, which is literally crack.
