Overnight Oats Meal Prep: A Creamy, Easy Breakfast for 5 Days
I’ve never really been a fan of overnight oats. I’d eat them, sure. but the texture? Hmm… just not my thing.
But in my last overnight oats post, I tried something new: blending the oats with frozen fruit. It was my first time ever doing that, and oh my goodness… GAME. CHANGER.
It was smooth, creamy, fruity, and absolutely nothing like the usual chunky overnight oats texture. I was so happy I came across that recipe on TikTok, because now it has officially entered my breakfast rotation.
I meal-prepped 5 servings, and this base recipe is perfect. It’s low in calories, high in fiber, filling, and customizable depending on what toppings you choose each morning.
Why I Love This Overnight Oats Meal Prep
I blended oats, frozen mixed fruit, soy milk, chia seeds, and nonfat Greek yogurt until it was smooth, then portioned the mixture into 5 bowls. Into the fridge they went… and breakfast for the week was DONE.
Each base bowl is:
- 271 calories
- 44g carbs
- 13g protein
- 5g fat
- 7.7g fiber
Here are two topping combinations I really enjoyed:
Option A: Raspberry Greek Yogurt Bowl
I added a container of raspberry nonfat Greek yogurt, and it transformed the oats into something that didn’t even taste like healthy food anymore; more like dessert for breakfast. Sweet, creamy, fruity, delicious.
Total nutrition with yogurt:
- 391 calories
- 64g carbs
- 25g protein
- 5g fat
- 8.7g fiber
Option B: Homemade Granola Bowl
For this version, I topped the oats with a serving of my homemade stovetop granola, from a previous post. It added crunch, sweetness, and variety; completely different from the yogurt bowl, so you never feel like you’re eating the same thing every day.
Total nutrition with granola:
- 410 calories
- 65g carbs
- 16g protein
- 10g fat
- 11.1g fiber
Both topping choices have completely different textures and flavors, and that’s the beauty of this base recipe; you can customize it endlessly. Add whatever toppings you like, just stay mindful of your calorie goals.
