Make Ahead Healthy Overnight Oats
Tropical Overnight Oats
Eating these will make you feel like you are in the land of palm trees, sandy beaches, and grass skirts. Ok, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. When you bite into it, the tropical taste will wow you! If you don’t enjoy pineapple or mango, double up on an other fruit or substitute them with papaya or guava (also delicious).

Triple Berry with Pecans Overnight Oats
I had leftover berries from other recipes and mixed and matched them for this healthy recipe. Pro Tip: Leave out the nuts and add them in the morning, otherwise they will lose their crunch. The chia seeds offers omega 3 fatty acids (which help prevent heart disease), protein and fiber. I found that this recipe filled me up longer.
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
This was a huge hit with my family! I love a healthy breakfast that tastes like I am having dessert! The little bit of cream cheese mixed with the yogurt and Almond milk is going to shock your senses into thinking you are eating dessert, I promise you! Don’t forget to put the ingredients through the food processor, though. It won’t pull together as well if you skip this step!
My Favorite! Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats
The first bite mixes the mild taste of cinnamon and chocolate with the creaminess of the oats. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with the Almond milk in these recipes and will use it more in the future. We kept saying how creamy the oats were!

Banana Nut Overnight Oats
This recipe maintains the traditional oats flavor and complements it with the bananas and nuts. I love the flexibility with this recipe. It is easy to add a dollop of honey to sweeten it, or include a tablespoon of Nutella to add a bit more of the taste of the nuts.
