I definitely found the right “recipe” for overnight oats<\/a>. Here it is:<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup steel cut oats<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup water<\/strong><\/p>\n

pinch of salt<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Tablespoon flaxmeal<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s the base I’ve been using and the last week or so I’ve been trying to experiment with other flavors.<\/p>\n

The first experiment was with a 100 calorie black cherry yogurt. I used that instead of the plain Greek yogurt and added some frozen blueberries to it. I liked the flavor and chunks of the black cherry but I really don’t like flavored yogurts. I’ve been eating plain for so long now that the flavored ones taste either too sweet to me or they taste like fake sweeteners and chemicals. Yuck!<\/p>\n

The next try was a chocolate flavored Greek yogurt. I added some peanut butter and topped it with crushed nuts and chia seeds. This second try confirmed that I just prefer to use my good ol’ plain Greek yogurt (my favorite is the Costco brand). So I tried a few things and I’m going back to the basics.<\/p>\n

This time I used the base that is my old stand-by but substituted 1\/4 cup of water with pineapple juice and then used 1\/4 cup water. I added chopped pineapple and strawberries. Then I topped it with some shredded coconut, chia seeds and crushed nuts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
