Blended Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 1 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
Note 1
- 3/4 cup to 1 cup Almond Milk)
add extra 1/4 cup for runnier texture (Note 2
- 1/2 cup Plant-Based Yogurt
- 2-3 tablespoons Maple Syrup
Note 3
- 1 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla Protein Powder
Note 4
Directions
- 1
In a blender, add all the ingredients, starting with the minimum amount of almond milk. We all have different tastes. I like mine runny, like a thick smoothie, but some like it thicker. It's always better to make the blended oats too thick and thin out the next day by adding more milk.
- 2
Blend on the high-speed setting, speed 10 of a Vitamix blender, for 20 to 30 seconds or until smooth and creamy. It should be thicker than smooth but still easy to pour into bowls. If too thick and difficult to blend, add more milk gradually, up to 1/4-1/3 cup extra. The mixture thickens in the fridge overnight.
- 3
Pour the mixture into three sealed glass mason jars. Close the lid and refrigerate overnight.
- 4
The next day, open the jar, stir and taste. Adjust with sweetener or add a splash more milk if too thick to your liking. Stir well to incorporate.

Serve with a drizzle of peanut butter, desiccated coconut, crushed peanuts, and berries.

Store for up to 3 days in a sealed jar in the fridge.

You can easily tailor these Blended Overnight Oats to your personal taste. For a fruitier twist, consider blending in fresh berries or a ripe banana. If you prefer a nutty flavor, a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter would be a delicious addition. To adjust sweetness, simply modify the amount of maple syrup (Note 3) to your liking. If you're looking to omit or substitute the vanilla protein powder (Note 4), you can do so or add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds for thickness.
Perfect for busy weekdays or a nourishing weekend treat, these oats are best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge. Garnish with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of nuts for an extra flourish, or simply enjoy them as is.
