Fall is nearly here! And you are going to absolutely love these 12 simple and healthy overnight oat recipes!

So over this past school year, I have been loving overnight oats compared to any other prepped meals of mine! I have been making two different flavors every. single. week. since September! So, of course, I had to find a way to mix up the flavors while keeping the oats healthy and friendly towards my goals!

For those that may not know, I worked part-time as a pre-school teacher this past year. Every Monday and Wednesday, I would prep my overnight oats in a container or mason jar to bring with me to work the following day! As a college student as well, this is the perfect go-to breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.! It is so easy to make, grab out of the fridge, and eat before or in between classes!

And surprisingly, I NEVER got tired of eating them for lunch every workday! Now I am a creature of habit, like a lot of people I have come to realize! However, I know that it can be tough and boring eating the same flavor of oats every week. Especially every day if you work full-time!

 

 

 

This is why I have mastered 12 different overnight oat recipes to keep your diet fun and interesting! 

 

Not to mention, all of these recipes are a perfect breakfast option for work and for school as well!

Especially for children, these recipes are packed full of healthy complex carbohydrates, adequate amounts of protein, and they are high in fiber! Which will keep you full and satisfied for many more hours compared to sugary cereals or store-bought granola bars!

They are the best option for those who are in a hurry and need to eat something quick but healthy! Or those that simply do not have a lot of time in the morning! The foundation of each one of these oats is very simple as well! A lot of these ingredients may already be in your fridge or pantry. And since these recipes have the same exact basic foundation ingredients, you won’t have to go out and buy a whole bunch of unnecessary ingredients!
