Blueberry Coconut Overnight Oats

Part of a healthy journey starts with preparation and planning.  We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but often times it’s the one we grab whatever is packaged and head out the door.  A few minutes the night before and you’ll have an easy  “grab and go” breakfast for the morning.  Overnight oats require just throwing everything in a container and letting it set in the fridge overnight.  I’ve done many versions of overnight oats.  Here’s my newest edition thanks to trying out Wildtree Hearty Oatmeal Mix-In Coconut.  The recipe below will “cost you” 6 if you are tracking. 

• 6 oz nonfat Greek yogurt, plain  (I use Fage’s 0%)
• ½ cup blueberries (I always have frozen blueberries in the freezer)
• ¼ cup quick oats, uncooked
• 1 tsp coconut (I used Wildtree Hearty Oatmeal Mix-in Coconut – it is DELICIOUS)

In a container layer Greek yogurt, quick oats, coconut mix-in, and blueberries.  I’ve layered these in mason jars or have thrown all the ingredients in a plastic container – there is no need to have perfect layers.  Let it sit in the fridge overnight.  Grab a spoon and enjoy your breakfast.  1 serving, 6 WW

Meal Prep:  Overnight oats are something I look forward to in the morning, so I don’t mind having it on repeat 5 times through the week.  To make life easier, I do all the prep work on Sunday so I can enjoy it Monday-Friday.  I buy a large container of the plain Fage yogurt and divide it out into 5 containers.  I measure out the other ingredients and keep those separated in small baggies so it makes it even easier to assemble the night before.  You’ll have a little bit of liquid in the container of plain yogurt if you measure it out into 5 separate plastic containers.  There is no need to strain it!  The liquid will be mopped with all that deliciousness you’re adding. 

Why I Love It: It is so easy to change up the recipe and substitute whatever you have on hand.  The combinations are endless.
