Highly recommended! Oats are one of the healthiest grains, 17 grams of protein per 100 gram serving. Environmentally friendly as they require minimal fertilizers and pesticides during cultivation. They also can grow in marginal crop production areas. I prefer almond milk for the added minerals, and any locally available in season fruit. Try making a larger fruit salad and using the overnight oats on top, using grated apple and cinnamon powder as a garnish. Thank you for this video, well done, by a happy person in a clean kitchen.

[@ximenaalvarado7271]

I prefer my oats very thick so I literally just blend a banana and add some yogurt and then add my oats. I do different variations such as adding some berries or cocoa powder. Sometimes my banana is really brown and liquidy and it is enough to make my oats mushy and thick which is just what I love. I also really like blending a mango to a pulp and soaking my oats in that. And just like you said, the sky is the limit. I’ve even made orchata flavored overnight oats

Love overnight oats, I make them every week for breakfast and the kids love them. Your variations are great and look so good.

[@aaminaas3051]

Your so passionate about overnight oats ❤️❤️ god bless you

[@ascaye]

I like to make it with kefir. Typically plain kefir but sometimes I use the flavored. The fruit and berries that I use add the flavor and sweetness. I use a two-to-one ratio for liquid to solid. It comes out beautifully.

I'm on a overnight oats phase right now. Mine is very simple, oats, protein powder butterscotch flavor and stevia.

I made it with yogurt, dark chocolate, peanut butter and soya milk(since plant based milk last longer than diary milk). I only have quick cooking oats tho, but still taste okay even though it looks lika a mushy slimmy creatures. Love it!

Milk boiled or not boiled

[@iolanda_liang]

@gopikrishnan unnikrishnan I’m not sure, but normal, carton milk that hasn’t been boiled should work just fine. There isn’t really a benefit to boiling it in this scenario.

[@GovtWatchdog]

Quick oats (chopped up rolled oats) also work really good. They soak up well and hold up just fine compared to old fashioned rolled oats. Mine last for a good 6 days in the fridge without issue.

[@natnaelabayneh7664]

Can i leave the overnight oats outdoor(throughtout the night) as i dont have a fridge...would that work?

[@Remember_when]

I'm used to eating my hot oatmeal with lots of coconut oil, cinnamon and brown sugar. Overnight oats are easy to make and I've tried apple, cinnamon, then banana, chocolate. So far I'm only mildly impressed. I am going to try a berry one then chocolate, peanut butter. I'm hoping that I find one I like because of the ease of making it.

[@Greenhealthycooking]

What part did you not like? And what kind of milk did you use to make the overnight oats?

[@Remember_when]

@@Greenhealthycooking I used almond milk. The first time I made the oatmeal it was too thick, like paste. The second time I just didn't care for the banana and chocolate together. I have not tried your exact recipes yet but I intend to. I had a fruit smoothy today but will try one of yours tonight.

[@Greenhealthycooking]

Nancy Griffin did you use old fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats? Quick oats will get super mushy and pasty. Also, of you like your oats more on the liquid side I recommend adding a lot more milk than just covering the oats.

[@Remember_when]

@@Greenhealthycooking Thank you, I only use old fashioned. I made oats for tomorrow, this time with 1/3 Cup oats and 1/2 cup almond milk and a 1/3 cup yogurt. I remember now that the first oats I ever made had yogurt only, no milk...like paste.

[@Greenhealthycooking]

@@fizzfizzbang Yes, I bought the lids separately but I don't recommend them at all. They pop up all the time and don't stay down. The glass lids the jars come with by default are much better or there are also plastic lids that are great. Don't buy the wooden lids. The size I'm using here is 250ml.

I've been trying to find some healthy easy to do recipes for my mornings and time and time again I always ended up mostly with Overnight Oats. For the longest I was not interested on them due to finding out I am allergic to chia seeds prior the pandemic and in KZbin all videos have Chía seeds and they sell them as the thing that makes or breaks this dish which did not help my situation. A couple of weeks found your video and I am happy that your recipe is free from chia seeds, I can now do them and eat them and the result is rather nice and filling. This helps a lot for those morning where I just don't have the time to prep me something before work, it just an easy to do prep the night before and voilà! Thank you! :)

My second video from you and I’m already liking before I watch😅 love your videos 🤗

[@VedicDesi]

Nice lady, great energy. However, she forgot the most important part - cooking the oats! Trust me, your GI will thank you later! Kidding aside, definitely DO soak oats to cut down cooking on time the next morning. This has been done with grains in most cultures since recorded history with items like rice, teff, quinoa etc. Also raw foods have rarely been eaten due to toxicity and pathogen risks. Opt for quality jams, jellies and marmalades on toast if you like fruit. You get more phytonutrient benefit with less digestive effort and greater pleasure overall. I believe we can all benefit by paying attention to the ORIGIN of things in gastronomy and tradition although new age stuff is always nice for a chuckle :)
