Here’s why I love overnight oats so much: they are easy, convenient, and there is no more excuse to not eat breakfast.
Make the Overnight Oats at night, refrigerate, breakfast is ready the second you walk downstairs the next day.
Adding zucchini to the oats is a no-brainer too. Not only is zucchini full of nutrition, but it also adds fiber with so few calories. Bonus – the zucchini also blends right in. You don’t see it or even taste it for that matter.
In the summer, take these overnight oats straight from the refrigerator and eat cold. In the winter you can heat them up quickly in the microwave. Delicious!
