Coffee and breakfast with no morning prep time and no dishes to do, all rolled into one? Could mornings get any more efficient?!
I am so, so, so back onto coffee these days. Admittedly I think I feel best without the caffeine, but it just tastes so darn good (and it’s good for you! Antioxidants!) that I’m keeping things caffeinated for now. I’ve been French pressing with some of our local roasters’ coffee and usually have a little bit leftover that I put in the fridge for another day. That’s how this idea for cappuccino overnight oats came about.
I used my Nespresso Aeroccino to froth my milk, but you can use a hand-held frother (or even the microwave and a jar) to get your milk foamy.
Organic Valley sends me their newest products from time to time, and their latest is Grassmilk and Grassmilk Yogurt. These products are the best of the best: they’re made from cows that eat 100% grass and dried forages, they’re minimally pasteurized, and they’re non-homogenized. And of course they’re certified organic, so there are absolutely no antibiotics, synthetic hormones, toxic pesticides, or GMO anything!
While all Organic Valley milk is sourced from pasture-raised cows, the Grassmilk milk takes it one step further. The cows are 100% grass-fed and eat only fresh grasses and dried forages, like hay, and they do not eat supplemental grains (like corn or soybeans). Nutritionally, Organic Valley Grassmilk milk is full of naturally-occurring calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
Cappuccino Overnight Oats
Cappuccino Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- Pinch cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1/3 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup leftover coffee
- 1 tsp sugar optional
- 1/3 cup frothed milk
Instructions
- Mix oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, yogurt, coffee and optical sugar in a jar. Chill for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight. In the morning, froth whole milk and pour on top.
And because your coffee is only as good as the dairy you put in it, check out this great video featuring an Organic Valley dairy farmer who swaps the roles of half-and-half and coffee in a hip NYC coffee shop. (The video is really sarcastic and quite funny!)
Organic Valley is America’s largest cooperative of organic farmers and one of the nation’s leading organic brands. Established in 1988, it represents more than 1,800 farmers in 36 states.

Love my Nespresso and whole milk lattes. Did you notice the grassmilk didn’t froth as well? The few times I’ve tried the whole grassmilk it wouldn’t froth up like my usual organic milk. Still tasty just not as frothy!
KathEats says
Yeah maybe not quite as frothy as some others but it still worked

I usually like my coffee black, but I’ve been adding just a bit of flavored half and half for the summer. Would love to try!

Because it is so hot (105° heat index today!) I like my coffee half caf and iced with some unsweetened vanilla almond milk. When the temps go down I like it hot with half and half and a little stevia. YUM!
Louise RD says
I will get some Organic Valley soon–prefer 2% in my med-roast coffee. I will also try the coffee-oat recipe, YUM! I’m always leery about using a French press since I’ve read that it increases your cholesterol levels–not sure why/how–> has anyone else heard this??
Kori says
It has to do with it being an unfiltered coffee brewing method. There are cholesterol-like compounds in coffee that, if not filtered out, were said could increase cholesterol levels. But to my knowledge, it’s mostly hypothetical, & in light of the recent study results that are beginning to discount what we previously thought regarding diet & cholesterol, I wouldn’t worry about it. 🙂
Louise RD says
Thanks- sounds good to me! 🙂
Karen says
Strong, strong, strong! And with a dash of cinnamon and whole milk.

Aw that must be so bittersweet!

At home i drink a dark roast coffee black. But if i’m out where the coffee isn’t as good, i like half and half in it. Finally i’m also very fond of whole milk lattes. Never sweetner or flavoring in any of these. 🙂

I’m not trying to win the contest because I’m UK based, but I liked the video 🙂 My favourite coffee at the moment is probably a Colombian roast made using an aeropress and served black.
Jennifer R. says
This will probably sound weird, but my favorite way to drink coffee is just with some added coconut oil (virgin). You could blend it in a little if you like, but I generally just stir it in.

Natasha Silvestri says
I truly like my coffee milk-y!
Kara says
When it comes to hot coffee, give it to me black. But for some reason I love adding a splash of milk to iced coffee (riddle me that). But lately I’ve also been loving adding coffee to my overnight oats (apparently great minds think alike!) – the more caffeine the better, right? 😉 But I love the addition of frothed milk to yours.. may have to try that next time!
Melissa | HerGreenLife says
Despite being a barista in college, I don’t actually drink coffee, but I would like to have a Bodum around so I could make coffee for guests.
Susan says
I love to make a latte with 1/2 and 1/2 and a splash of 2% milk when I wake up. I sprinkle cinnamon and a little unsweetened cocoa powder on top. I use my Nespresso. That would be awesome to win a Bodum French Press – thanks so much for the chance to win!
