Overnight Oats with Berries & Cream

In my new grab and go morning schedule this recipe has also become a staple. I make 4 8 oz. servings with the below ingredients and pop them in the refrigerator on Sunday night so they are ready for the work week. I make them as individual servings in low 14 oz. glass bowls from IKEA so I can add a lot of fresh fruit on top and still put the lid on. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of oatmeal
  • 2 cups of milk – I like to use Oat milk but use whatever you prefer
  • 1 6 oz. vanilla yogurt
  • 1 plain 5.3 oz. Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Optional: Zest of a lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit 
  • Fresh fruit of your choice – I like a mix of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I also love fresh mango and strawberries. 
  • Agave syrup (optional but delicious)

Step One: In a low glass bowl add 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1/2 cup of milk. Do this for all 4 servings. 

Step Two: In a medium bowl add the vanilla yogurt and Greek yogurt, vanilla, honey and citrus zest and mix well to combine. 

Step Three: Add a large dollop of the yogurt mixture to each bowl. 

Step Four: Pop in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours. 

Step Five: Top with berries and agave (optional) the next day right before serving. 

Enjoy!

I love spending time with family, gardening, being outside, and I enjoy making delicious meals for my friends and family. My beloved mama, Kelly passed away in late 2020 and this website is dedicated to her - she taught me to be a grateful heart and see the beauty that surrounds me in all that I do.
