An Amazing Filling Breakfast Treat

Cookie Dough Overnight Oatmeal 


This is ONE breakfast that you won't want to skip out on! When I make these I can't wait for moring to come, it is my go-to breakfast, well besides my Shakeology of course. :-) If I know I have a busy week coming up and I'm in need of a on-the-go breakfast this is what I make...super easy, super fast, so delicious! <3 

When I was younger my mom could not get me to eat breakfast. She would try and try and even though I always said 'no' she would still wake up early enough to make me something for breakfast. I don't know why I didn't eat breakfast, I always said it was because I had to get up so early to go to school...the bus would come at like 6:50 in the morning....my brain and my stomach didn't have enough time to comprehend that it was breakfast time! All I know is if I had this as an option growing up I would have ate breakfast every.single.day.

All I do is make these the night before, stick them in the fridge, and I have breakfast for a few days. I got this recipe from a clean eating cook book called Dashing Dish by Katie Farrell. I have made a few changes of my own and feel free to as well when you make this....recipes are all about making them your own!

The Goods:

• 1/2 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup protein powder (I use any flavor of Shakeology, depends on the mood I am in) or add additional oats
• 1/4 cup sweetener that measures like sugar
• 1 teaspoon chocolate chips 
• 1/2 teaspoon butter extract (or vanilla extract)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Get Cooking:

• In a medium bowl mix together yogurt and almond milk
• Add in the oats, protein powder, sweetner, chocolate chips, butter extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• Stir to combine
• Divide between 2 small bowls, mugs, or mason jars.
• Cover and refridgerate for at least one hour (so the oats soften and absorb the liquid)
• Serve cold or pop in the microwave for 30-60 second

Notes: When I make mine I don't add sweetner or sugar because I feel that is it sweet enough without it. Also, feel free to add fresh fruit to the top of the oatmal, I personally like blueberries, strawberries, or bananas.
