Overnight Oats - So Many Overnight Oats Recipes

This page has a range of overnight oat recipes that i have tried and love. This page is constantly being updated as i try new overnight oat recipes (a favourite of mine for breakfast and healthy desserts at the moment). So have a scroll through, choose 1 or more and have a go - they are so easy to make and perfect for a quick breakfast on the go as everything is prepared the night before so they are just sitting in the fridge ready to go! 



1. OVERNIGHT BROWNIE OATS 


This is super quick and easy to make, you just  mix everything together in a bowl and then refrigerate! This is such a good recipe to curve those sweet cravings, ideal for desert or even for breakfast (why not?!).
This recipe serves 2.

Ingredients

1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice - coconut etc)
1/2 cup of plain natural yogurt (or mashed banana)
2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
A pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of honey
1 cup of oats
1/4 cup of protein powder (or extra oats)

Method

1. In a small bowl mix all of the ingredients together.

2. Divide the mixture between 2 small bowls, mugs or jars.

3. Cover and refrigerate over night (or for at least an hour, so the oats soften and absorb the liquid).

4. Top with chopped nuts or fruit or any topping of your choice (I used chopped almonds and strawberries, the strawberries went so well with the chocolate flavour!).

5. You can serve cold or microwave for 30-60 seconds and have it warm!

Massaman Fish Curry

Image
I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
