A Week of Overnight Oats Recipes

7 different easy and healthy vegan overnight oats recipes – 7 delicious flavors: peach, apple & cinnamon, blueberry, almond butter & grapes, pumpkin, banana & almond butter, and cherry!

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?

Blueberry Overnight Oats

• 2-3 tablespoons of frozen blueberry was added into overnight oats base – Trader Joe’s had organic frozen wild blueberry and that’s what I used. I simply added the frozen blueberry to the base and stick it in the fridge overnight.
