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

Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says

kathleen @ the daily crumb says
January 23, 2012 at 8:59 ammmmm 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:00 amI’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
January 23, 2012 at 9:03 amI know me too–so glad I take the time to DO it!
Get those engines started 😉
Khushboo says
January 23, 2012 at 9:05 amMy jar is almost ready for OIAJ- can’t wait!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
January 23, 2012 at 9:12 amWell, 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:13 amI 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:15 amBy 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:15 amGreat way to start the week! Have a wonderful one!
Dee says
January 23, 2012 at 9:16 amI really need to get my hands on a sunbutter jar. One of these days… 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
January 23, 2012 at 9:17 amYou reminded me that I need more sun butter…pronto! 😉
Kinley @ Better Off Barefoot says
January 23, 2012 at 9:18 amTotally agree that the few minutes at night prepping breakfast is so much appreciated in the morning!!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
January 23, 2012 at 9:18 amI’m feeling the same motivation as you this Monday morning Kath! Here’s to a productive one! 🙂
Lizzie says
January 23, 2012 at 9:19 amHey 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
January 23, 2012 at 2:28 pmthanks 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
January 23, 2012 at 2:35 pmCoaches Oats work great in the microwave. Just found a big bag at Costco . . .
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
January 23, 2012 at 9:20 amOvernight 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:25 amCrunchy SunButter is my favorite!!
Cait's Plate says
January 23, 2012 at 9:29 amI 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:29 amGood way to start the week!
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
January 23, 2012 at 9:32 amMmmm I’m hoarding a jar of sunbutter. I think it may be time to break it out soon though 🙂
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
January 23, 2012 at 9:32 amMy 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:33 amHaha 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:40 amHighly 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
January 23, 2012 at 11:19 amI 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:44 amI 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:48 amI 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:56 amLooks delicious! Have a great week.
Kelly @ Vegolosophy says
January 23, 2012 at 10:08 amI really need to try breakfast in a jar, always looks so great! Enjoy your week 🙂
Sami says
January 23, 2012 at 10:11 amI’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
January 23, 2012 at 2:29 pmWelcome! And so glad o.oats were a hit!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
January 23, 2012 at 10:53 amYeah- 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
January 23, 2012 at 11:00 amI love the anticipation of getting to the bottom of a jar of PB!
Jen says
January 23, 2012 at 11:22 amKath 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
January 23, 2012 at 2:29 pmI haven’t.. I’m not much of a fan of almond milk
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
January 23, 2012 at 11:47 amSunflower seed butter (and cookie butter/biscoff spread) are my two faves…your breakfast is perfect 🙂
natasha says
January 23, 2012 at 12:06 pmI love your post title, you are always so clever with these!

Kristen @ Change of Pace says
January 23, 2012 at 12:28 pmI’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
January 23, 2012 at 12:37 pmI 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
January 23, 2012 at 12:38 pmI 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
January 23, 2012 at 1:14 pmI’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
January 23, 2012 at 2:29 pmCool project John! Kind of gross too 🙂
John Clifton says
January 23, 2012 at 1:16 pmSorry 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
January 23, 2012 at 1:30 pmsunflower 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
January 23, 2012 at 1:31 pmI have a nearly-empty jar that is just begging for some Overnight Oats. Yum, yum, yum!
John Clifton says
January 23, 2012 at 2:06 pmBurger king is being added today and tomorrow taco bell, and Whataburger!!
~Christy says
January 23, 2012 at 2:06 pmAlways good to find that Monday morning motivation! Go girl, go! 🙂
Sarah says
January 23, 2012 at 5:35 pmWhat is your favorite brand of sunflower seed butter?
KathEats says
January 23, 2012 at 5:39 pmTrader Joe’s wins, but Sunbutter is really 95% as good if you don’t have a TJ’s
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
January 23, 2012 at 7:01 pmHa! 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
January 23, 2012 at 9:55 pmok thats it, tonite im makin overnite oats. Never had them but have to try them.
Angel7 says
January 23, 2012 at 10:58 pmI love Sunbutter! I have never tried the Natural Crunch one, though.

February 19, 2013 at 12:10 amThis 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
September 22, 2015 at 5:45 pmA 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!!
