Are overnight oats healthy?

I always like to mention that health/healthy depends on your description of it. Are these cups low-calorie? Not specifically. But do they pack a punch of nutrients? Yes, absolutely.

Fortunately we are well past the era where food is judged on how many calories it has or doesn’t have. Now its all about nutrients and a balance of protein, healthy carbs and fats. Its about packing your life with the good stuff rather than trying to fit your food through the eye of a needle.

Its about MORE for GREAT HEALTH. More good stuff, more quality protein, more veges, more nutrients, more flavour and colour, so you have more energy, more enjoyment out of life, and more YOU!  The “less” movement is well in the rear view mirror now and thank goodness for that!

This recipe is packed with protein, fiber, omega 3s, probiotics, and antioxidants, and tastes AMAZING. Keep in mind that this is for this recipe right here, overnight oats that you will find in store might have a lot more sugar than what you would like to consume in the morning.

I love meal prepping overnight oatmeal every week to have a quick and healthy breakfast ready to go! And whether I’m staying home, or eating them on the go, these overnight oats hit the spot. When someone asks me for an easy, healthy breakfast idea, this overnight oats recipe is the first thing I suggest. It’s perfect for busy mornings, as you can make individual servings ahead of time and take them on the go.

It’s also satisfying enough to keep you full till lunch, made with simple healthy ingredients. But best of all, it’s fun. What could be fun about oatmeal you ask? Well, this yummy breakfast is endlessly customizable.

Once you learn how to make overnight oats, you can experiment with mix-ins like cocoa powder or vanilla extract or pile on toppings like nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit.  You can use different fruits and berries and different flavoured yogurt. Try super healthy sugar free, whipped coconut cream (recipe below in notes) for an extra kick of nutrients.

Use this recipe to get you started and create your own fabulous masterpiece! It makes the perfect healthy breakfast or any time snack to meal prep and enjoy all week long!
