They say that breakfast is the most important
-
meal of the day, so today on The Domestic Geek
-
I'm gonna show you five amazing overnight oatmeals
-
that will be waiting for you when you get up in the morning.
-
They're totally delicious and great for you.
-
This overnight oatmeal has become a complete staple
-
in my house.
-
What I love about it is that it all gets put together
-
the night before and in the morning,
-
you can either eat it cold or heat it up
-
and it's just ready to go for you.
-
The basic recipe couldn't be simpler.
-
You're working with one third of a cup of oats
-
in a mason jar.
-
To that, you're gonna add one tablespoon of chia seeds,
-
or you can use protein powder instead,
-
a quarter cup of the milk of your choice.
-
I like almond milk.
-
A quarter cup of greek yogurt and then whatever
-
flavorings you decide.
-
Let me tell you, the flavor possibilities
-
are absolutely endless.
-
I'm gonna show you my five favorite flavors today.
-
Carrot cake flavored oatmeal.
-
So we're starting with our oats.
-
We're going to add a tablespoon of chia seeds,
-
our almond milk, and then our greek yogurt.
-
Lots of protein happening in this breakfast.
-
And then, for our carrot cake flavor,
-
we're going to top it with some maple syrup,
-
a little bit of cinnamon, some shredded carrot,
-
and then, of course, some pecans for crunch.
-
Nothing says good morning like blueberry lemon
-
overnight oatmeal.
-
So this couldn't be simpler.
-
We are starting with our oats, of course.
-
Our chia seeds, our almond milk, and our greek yogurt,
-
and then we are going to top this with a splash of vanilla
-
extract to brighten all the flavors.
-
Some blueberry jam to add some sweetness,
-
a handful of gorgeous organic blueberries,
-
and then just a little bit of lemon rind for a bit
-
of zesty lemon flavor.
-
Few things in the world go better
-
than strawberries and chocolate.
-
Can you imagine waking up in the morning
-
to strawberry chocolate overnight oatmeal?
-
So we have our oats.
-
We're going to add our chia seeds, our almond milk,
-
and some greek yogurt.
-
Then for our flavoring, we're going to use some honey
-
to add a bit of sweetness.
-
You can always omit the honey if you prefer
-
a less sweet oatmeal, but I like a little bit of sugar
-
in the morning.
-
Then we are going to add a scoop of cocoa powder,
-
some beautiful fresh cut strawberries.
-
You could also do this with oranges or cherries even,
-
would be really delicious.
-
And then we're going to top it with just a little bit
-
of shaved chocolate for some added decadence.
-
Because who doesn't need a little added decadence
-
in the morning to get you going?
-
Next up is the banana nut.
-
It almost tastes like banana nut bread.
-
So, so delicious.
-
So, to our standard recipe, we are adding
-
a little bit of maple syrup, some nut butter.
-
I'm using peanut butter, but you could use walnut butter
-
or cashew butter if you like.
-
Some chopped walnuts and of course, some fresh
-
banana slices.
-
This is our Pina Colada flavor.
-
To our standard recipe, we are going to add
-
a tablespoon of honey. Just for a little sweetness.
-
Then some slivered almonds,
-
some fresh cut pineapple and we're going to top it all off
-
with a little bit of coconut.
-
So good.
