I love my healthy superfood shakes. Drinking a shake every day has become like second nature. But I also love using my shakeology in other ways to take in all of those nutrients! Because let’s face it, in the dead of winter you’re not always going to want a shake for breakfast.

This coming from the girl who would eat ice cream when it’s -5 degrees out or in the middle of a snow storm. Yes, that’s happened.

This is when Overnight Oats come into play. Granted, they are still cold but not like an ice cold shake you know what I mean? I like quick and easy breakfasts that I can grab-n-go! I have probably made hundreds of variations of Overnight Oats over the last year – well maybe like 30 – but still. Lots! And my favorite by far are those that include shakeology (or Perfect Fit protein if not looking to substitute out my daily superfood shake). Getting that extra boost of nutrients and protein make such a difference. I love a filling breakfast that isn’t heavy, but so satisfying all the same.

Today I’m going to share the base recipe as well some of my favorite add-ins!

1/2 c. oats

1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk

1/2 c. plain greek yogurt (or 1 individual container)

dash of cinnamon

1/2 – 1 packet stevia

*** OR ***

Shakeology Overnight Oats

1/2 c. oats

1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk

1/4 c. plain greek yogurt

1/2 scoop shakeology (or a protein powder)

Directions

Put all ingredients in a jar, place the lid on and shake well. Put jar in the refrigerator overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours so the oats can soak up the liquids. In the morning, take out and add toppings!

Some toppings are delicious when added with the rest of the ingredients the night before: chia seeds, PB2 (peanut butter), flaxseed, pumpkin, almond butter, pure maple syrup, or additional spices.

Toppings that I prefer to add in the morning are: sliced banana, apple, mango, peach, fresh or frozen berries, unsweetened coconut, granola, nuts or even carob chips.
