Breakfast, breakfast, breakfast...

I was never a big fan of eating breakfast. My breakfast consisted of a gigantic cup of coffee for the longest time. There are several reasons why I didn't eat breakfast: I didn't have appetite, I didn't have time, and cooking breakfast is too much work in the morning. But as I became vegetarian, it was harder and harder to skip this meal because I'd get super hungry.

So I started making smoothies (like my Good Morning Green Smoothie and Mood Boosting Cacao Smoothie). I still prefer to drink smoothie if I were to attend a morning yoga class but if not, smoothie was simply not enough to sustain my hunger. That's when I started to experiment with overnight oats.

Why I like Overnight Oats for breakfast:

They taste better than hot oatmeal FOR ME - If you are a big fan of warm cozy bowl of oatmeal, I have nothing against you. I simply prefer the taste of overnight oats better.
Overnight oats are simple, no cooking require - You just need to take it out of the fridge, sprinkle some stuff on top, and it is ready to eat!
Overnight oats are easy to digest - soaking helps the starch to break down and easier for your body to digest the oats easier than conventionally cooked oats.

Without further ado, shall we get to my 7 different easy and healthy overnight oats recipes?

All of my overnight oats starts with my base oats.
