Overnight Oats

[stefe]

This is a must try it is the most amazing and filling. Great for anytime of day and especially a hot summer day.

Mix:
1/2 cup....Oatmeal - Quick or Old Fashion (NOT INSTANT)
1/2 cup....nf milk, I use light plain soymilk
1/4 cup....nf yogurt or greek yogurt
I mix in blueberries and raisins, but you can mix in anything you like.

Mix together, cover and leave in fridge overnight. The next morning you can slice bananas or other fruit, add cinnamon, or a little honey. ENJOY!!!

P.S. You do not have to cook the oatmeal before hand; just mix in dry.

I did something similar. But I found that overnight didn't really come out any different than 15 minutes, so I just make mine in the morning now!

This could be a great way for me to address making a healthy breakfast the night before.

I imagine I could use soy yogurt? And throw in some nuts.

Any idea how long it would keep (if I made a large batch for the week)?

That is good to know that it doesn't take that long that way I can make it in the morning for lunch or something.

Ufi, soy yogurt and nuts sounds good (i have never tried soy yogurt; I'm going to have to go buy some). I made 6 batches one day and it lasted about 3 days between my husband and I. I make him a double batch. So I know it can last at least 3 days. Hope that helps!

That does help!

The varieties of soy taste different, so don't give up if the first one doesn't taste right to you. WholeSoy tastes the best to me.
