Another day of rain ahead.
Another jar dominated!
I was so tired last night I almost didn’t take the 60 seconds aside to make overnight oats, but as usual, I was very glad I did!!
I mixed together: 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds (which didn’t get stirred In well enough and were one big clump on the bottom of my jar!), blueberries and blackberries. Topped with Morning O’s and some Cville Cluster crumbs!
Best part:
Favorite breakfast!
After quite a relaxing weekend, I’m motivated this morning to charge through my list for this week. Start your engines!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Have a great week Kath!!!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Great breakfast! Happy Monday 🙂
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
mmmm the clumps of SB are just the best! and it is so nice waking up to a delicious meal with no prep work and no clean up required! happy monday 🙂
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
I’ve been *thinking* about making overnight oats every night for the past 5 or 6 nights, but then I don’t…and I regret it in the morning!! Now I’m jealous of yours! 🙂
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I know me too–so glad I take the time to DO it!
Get those engines started 😉
Khushboo says
My jar is almost ready for OIAJ- can’t wait!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Well, our beautiful snow is being washed away in the downpour of this morning…so sad! I love the idea of breakfast in a jar of sunbutter…my mouth was watering at the photo of the bottom of your jar…yummy! Off to go bowling on my son’s field trip…a great indoor activity on a rainy day. Managed to squeeze in a speedy walk in the rain before I headed out…getting in my 30 minutes of activity a day! lol
Molly @ RDexposed says
I am now tempted to replace the word “body” with engine and “food” with fuel after your last statement! Maybe the male patients would like that version better! Ha
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
By the time I think about overnight oats lately I’m already upstairs in bed with the covers pulled up. The bed always wins out but then I’m so mad at myself in the morning when I could’ve walked down to breakfast already made!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
Great way to start the week! Have a wonderful one!
Dee says
I really need to get my hands on a sunbutter jar. One of these days… 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
You reminded me that I need more sun butter…pronto! 😉
Kinley @ Better Off Barefoot says
Totally agree that the few minutes at night prepping breakfast is so much appreciated in the morning!!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I’m feeling the same motivation as you this Monday morning Kath! Here’s to a productive one! 🙂
Lizzie says
Hey I love your blog. Especially your pictures!
Do you have any meal ideas for living in a college dorm?! I strive to eat healthy alll day, but I am getting bored with the granola bars/cereal breakfasts. I have a microwave,fridge,freezer, and sink to work with! I have always wanted to try oatmeal, but IDK how to make it
KathEats says
thanks Lizzie!
If you have a fridge, you can make overnight oats! Here’s the how-to page – no cooking involved! https://www.katheats.com/favorite-foods/overnightoats
Candice says
Coaches Oats work great in the microwave. Just found a big bag at Costco . . .
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Overnight oats in an almost empty jar is the best breakfast ever. My last empty was a jar of Biscoff – heavenly. 🙂
Mindy Lord @ clueless nut says
Crunchy SunButter is my favorite!!
Cait's Plate says
I had the same exact breakfast! (Complete with the Sunbutter jar!). Minus the cheerios though because I had some peanut butter granola (extra clustery) just begging to be used.
DEFINITELY my favorite breakfast ever.
Rebecca @ Naturally Healthy and Gorgeous says
Good way to start the week!
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
Mmmm I’m hoarding a jar of sunbutter. I think it may be time to break it out soon though 🙂
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
My motivation is at an all time high. Even though there is snow on the ground, bikini season will sneak up on me, and I want to be ready!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Haha I know how you feel, last night I knew I’d have ZERO time this morning to make breakfast (I only had 10 minutes to eat it!) so I forced myself to head back into the kitchen and mix up some overnight oats. Haha it seems like so much effort, but it really takes like 3 minutes!
Blessing @ Working Mom Journal says
Highly motivated this morning as well. I started my day with a quote by Micheal Jordan – ?”I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.”
Jen says
I like that quote. I just wonder if it means to keep putting in the work at my job…or towards what I’d really hope to do. ?
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
I had overnight oats this morning too, and was of course very glad I took the time to make them last night. I have never tried sunbutter, but would like to!
Life's a Bowl says
I just started eating PB again after a long hiatus and cannot wait till we finish off the jar to make my first batch of overnight oats 😀
Grace @ Healthy Dreaming says
Looks delicious! Have a great week.
Kelly @ Vegolosophy says
I really need to try breakfast in a jar, always looks so great! Enjoy your week 🙂
Sami says
I’m so happy I found your blog! I relate to your weight loss story, I love cooking healthy food, I love oatmeal, I love smoothies, and I love my vitamix! Tried some overnight oats (dont know why i never thought if that) and they were soooo yummy! Perfect for me to take to work since I go in at 5am and work 12 hours (I’m an ER nurse). Mixed it up the night before and threw it in my lunch cooler on the way out the door. Gave me energy to get through my shift. Have the day off today and so I’m getting ready to blend up my first dough boy smoothie. Yay!!!
KathEats says
Welcome! And so glad o.oats were a hit!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Yeah- I’m so incredibly jealous of that breakfast! It takes me forever to get to the bottom of my sunflower butter jar, because I have a habit of alternating between 10 different jars of various nut butters open at once in my fridge! I have resolved to finish all of them before buying a jar of anything else, but that is a LOT of nut butter…
Sneakers2Sandals says
I love the anticipation of getting to the bottom of a jar of PB!
Jen says
Kath have you ever tried making almond milk? I buy so much and it’s expensive. I’m intimidated by home process though and if it’s really that more cost effective?
KathEats says
I haven’t.. I’m not much of a fan of almond milk
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Sunflower seed butter (and cookie butter/biscoff spread) are my two faves…your breakfast is perfect 🙂
natasha says
I love your post title, you are always so clever with these!
KathEats says
: )
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
I’ve been making a lot of my breakfasts the night before. Much less stress in the morning when I’m already usually late!
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
I just had justin’s dark chocolate pb oats in a jar. it was so good it made my whole day.
Paige @ Running Around Normal says
I totally meant to make overnight oats (well, something semi-over night oats-ish) last night, but completely forgot! Tonight I’ll try and remember a little harder 😉
John Clifton says
I’ve been meaning to try to find someone that sells milk straight from the cow, which from what I understand is much better than the pasteurized milk that we get at the stores.
I would like to add some real milk to that jar there, it looks awesome.
I read a report about this lady that found a mcdonalds cheese burger under the seat of her car.. Apparently her kids tossed one under the seat. Anyway, the burger didn’t rot or decompose. I found it interesting so I’m running my own experiment of various fast food menu items, starting with mcdonalds. I’m in my second week with a happy meal as well as a Cheese burger meal. If you’re interested, you can watch the progress at http://www.FastFoodExperiment(dot)come
KathEats says
Cool project John! Kind of gross too 🙂
John Clifton says
Sorry about the mis-spelling, I meant http://www.FastFoodExperiment.com
It’s to see how long or if the food will actually spoil.
Cait says
sunflower seed butter is the only nut/seed butter that I have not tried. I am not a huge fan of sunflower seeds, but I still would like to try it!
Emily @ The Swallow Flies says
I have a nearly-empty jar that is just begging for some Overnight Oats. Yum, yum, yum!
John Clifton says
Burger king is being added today and tomorrow taco bell, and Whataburger!!
~Christy says
Always good to find that Monday morning motivation! Go girl, go! 🙂
Sarah says
What is your favorite brand of sunflower seed butter?
KathEats says
Trader Joe’s wins, but Sunbutter is really 95% as good if you don’t have a TJ’s
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Ha! I swear one of the reasons I don’t eat overnight oats that often is because I’m too lazy to make them at night! 😛
robin says
ok thats it, tonite im makin overnite oats. Never had them but have to try them.
Angel7 says
I love Sunbutter! I have never tried the Natural Crunch one, though.

Jimaie says
This has me mourning ever jar of PB I’ve ever tossed since I’ve been eating overnight oats! And even before then, haha! So smart! YUM.
Al says
A friend from Switzerland makes a traditional Muesli in a similar way. Rolled oats, chopped nuts & fruit yogurt and a little milk maybe ( I use OJ or apple juice and love it more) The thing is she makes a BIG batch in a BIG bowl for the week and has breakfast & snacks all week!!
