I slept Ok last night, but Iām having a sleepy morning! I think pregnancy is finally wearing me out : )
I think you deserve to feel worn out once in a while – you always have so much going on! š
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!
Those Oats sure look like gold medal worthy to me!
I just can’t get on board with the cold oatmeal, lol š I did make Overnight Oats a few times with about 15 second warm up in the microwave, which was okay, hehe
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. ????
I’ve also struggled with acclimating to cold oatmeal – I think I’ll try slow cooker oatmeal soon though!
Maybe the tiredness is to make you rest more now because baby is coming soon?! š
I think so!
Looks like an A+ meal to me! Not long now until your little one is here!
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).
Votes for Women! Reminds me of Mary Poppins!
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?
If I leave out the yogurt, I add more chia seeds to thicken it up. But it’s still good with just milk too!
Thanks! Will try the chia next time.
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. š
woo hoo! Gold Medal Oats! GMO!
You are almost at the finish line! Those oats look like the perfect way to get you going!
Yum! Overnight oats š
Yum! Overnight oats š I get so excited everyday checking your blog if you’re going to have a post that the baby is coming!! š
Haha I love these meal score cards!!
Pregnancy has been really been wearing me out! Sleeping is getting harder & harder, because I am so uncomfortable!

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:)
I still haven’t tried overnight oats yet. It is on the list of things to try!
I am not a huge fan of overnight oats–or really oatmeal in general. No idea why! But I do love a good smoothie!
The only thing I like better than overnight oats is a good old doughboy smoothie.
I love the score card and the “overnight oats for the win!” – cute š
Kudos to you because I would only give an A+ for convenience if someone else was making it for me! š
I was CRAVING overnight oats this morning.. unfortunately, it never hits me at night when they would actually have time to prep!
Why would some of us think texture = F? Sogginess from frozen fruit or overnight oats in general?
Because some people just have doughy, sticky textures. I happen to love them!
I am *addicted* to my OO for breakfast. š 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. š
Yeah, I agree. It’s not really an oatmeal so much as a thick, yogurt dish.
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.
I bought it in Newport, RI at one of the mansions there. Post is here: https://www.katheats.com/built-vanderbilt
Thanks!
I had the same breakfast! Can’t beat a breakfast that you can wake up to completely made š
I adore overnight oats, I never understood why the texture freaked some people out.
Mmm, overnight oats are always a winner in my book!
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? š
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.
oh bummer : (
