I slept Ok last night, but I’m having a sleepy morning! I think pregnancy is finally wearing me out : )
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
I think you deserve to feel worn out once in a while – you always have so much going on! 🙂
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
It looks like your overnight oats are definitely a winner based on your score card! I’ve been wanting them lately, but I keep forgetting to prepare them before I hit the hay. I need to write myself a note for tonight!
Amanda @flecksofgreen says
Those Oats sure look like gold medal worthy to me!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I just can’t get on board with the cold oatmeal, lol 🙂 I did make Overnight Oats a few times with about 15 second warm up in the microwave, which was okay, hehe
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I made overnightbpatsbfor the first time in a long time this morning. Forgot how awesome they are! Today was a mocha flavor… Using my Sunday leftover coffee. ????
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
I’ve also struggled with acclimating to cold oatmeal – I think I’ll try slow cooker oatmeal soon though!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Maybe the tiredness is to make you rest more now because baby is coming soon?! 😉
KathEats says
I think so!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
Looks like an A+ meal to me! Not long now until your little one is here!
Lauren says
Yesss frozen berries! My favorite super-convenient yogurt addition. I have three bags in the freezer right now, especially good for packed lunches (if you have a super leak proof container, of course).
Jennifer says
Votes for Women! Reminds me of Mary Poppins!
Courtney @ Translating Nutrition says
I’m warming up to the overnight oats…no pun intended! It can’t be beat for the convenience; I’m just working out to get it just as I like it. I’ve tried it a couple of times but, being lactose intolerant, I find the taste of the soy yogurt I use too overpowering. So I’ve started adding a little bit less yogurt (and may leave it out in the next try) and some more flavorings (vanilla and cinnamon). I like the texture to be on the thick side as it is, so I don’t mind the missing yogurt. Perhaps you have some yogurt substitution suggestions? Or a post where you’ve already discussed that?
KathEats says
If I leave out the yogurt, I add more chia seeds to thicken it up. But it’s still good with just milk too!
Courtney @ Translating Nutrition says
Thanks! Will try the chia next time.
alexe says
I do it with a mashed banana or a grated apple in place of the yogurt (plus one tbs of chia and some milk) as I find the consistency a bit too thin with just milk and chia. 🙂
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
woo hoo! Gold Medal Oats! GMO!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
You are almost at the finish line! Those oats look like the perfect way to get you going!
Megan @ Megan's Munchies says
Yum! Overnight oats 🙂
Rachel says
Yum! Overnight oats 🙂 I get so excited everyday checking your blog if you’re going to have a post that the baby is coming!! 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Haha I love these meal score cards!!
Angel7 says
Pregnancy has been really been wearing me out! Sleeping is getting harder & harder, because I am so uncomfortable!

Morgan @ moments of mmm says
I actually love the texture of overnight oats, it’s the temperature that weirds me out. I think my tastebuds get confused! “Oatmeal is supposed to be hot!” Yours always look delicious though!

Such gorgeous pictures! I love crumbling granola bars into my oats:)
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
I still haven’t tried overnight oats yet. It is on the list of things to try!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
I am not a huge fan of overnight oats–or really oatmeal in general. No idea why! But I do love a good smoothie!
Johanna B says
The only thing I like better than overnight oats is a good old doughboy smoothie.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
I love the score card and the “overnight oats for the win!” – cute 🙂
Mollie says
Kudos to you because I would only give an A+ for convenience if someone else was making it for me! 🙂
Jessica @ New Girl, New City says
I was CRAVING overnight oats this morning.. unfortunately, it never hits me at night when they would actually have time to prep!
Tracy says
Why would some of us think texture = F? Sogginess from frozen fruit or overnight oats in general?
KathEats says
Because some people just have doughy, sticky textures. I happen to love them!
Sashi says
I am *addicted* to my OO for breakfast. 🙂 But I actually think of this more as texturized yogurt rather than oatmeal, though, because of the temperature and the fact that this is so much dessert-like (with the fruit and “cream” – aka milk and yogurt). When I explain it like that to people, they seem to be more interested. 🙂
KathEats says
Yeah, I agree. It’s not really an oatmeal so much as a thick, yogurt dish.
Spice Chicken says
THE MUG!!! Where did you get it?! Is this an Etsy find? This would be the perfect gift for a friend and colleague of mine.
KathEats says
I bought it in Newport, RI at one of the mansions there. Post is here: https://www.katheats.com/built-vanderbilt
Spice Chicken says
Thanks!
Cait's Plate says
I had the same breakfast! Can’t beat a breakfast that you can wake up to completely made 🙂
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
I adore overnight oats, I never understood why the texture freaked some people out.
Gina @HealthLoveandChocolate says
Mmm, overnight oats are always a winner in my book!
Hannah says
I love oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit. Usually I do enjoy most textures. But the one time I made OO, it reminded me of cold soggy cereal, and I was disappointed how little I liked it since it’s so convenient. Any tips for OO beginners out there? 🙂
Miri says
I’m jealous of your granola bar! My local Great Harvest Bread Co just closed recently and now I will have to find somewhere else to get awesome granola.
KathEats says
oh bummer : (
