Well, maybe grabbing a granola bar or something, but a batch of overnight oats is definitely more filling and delicious!
I love experimenting with various flavors and textures in my overnight oats. Adding different spices, fresh fruits and nuts can make a boring batch of overnight oats ten times more delicious.
Sometimes playing around with different flavor combinations in the kitchen pays off and results in a pretty fabulous creation.
That was the case with this batch of vanilla walnut overnight oats. The nutty flavor of Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened Vanilla paired perfectly with cinnamon and walnuts to make a comforting bowl of overnight oats with 15 grams of protein to help keep me full for hours.
I didn’t add any additional sugar outside of the vanilla Greek yogurt and since the unsweetened vanilla almond milk is lower in sugar than skim milk, this bowl of overnight oats has only 8 grams of sugar. Feel free to top the oats with a bit of honey or brown sugar if you like your overnight oats a little sweeter!

Yum!!! I just started making overnight oats. We love them. I do have a quick question. Do you ever use ground chia seeds instead of the whole seed.

I think this is one of my favourite summer breakfasts. And even though I am living in Mexico, its still an easy one to do when I get sick of tamales for breakfast (one day looking back I will wonder how I said that).
