Green Smoothie Overnight Oats

Today, I’m bringing you a combination of two of my favorite breakfasts: green smoothie bowls and overnight oats! The vibrant color should tell you it has plenty of vitamin rich greens in it, but it also has fiber from oats + protein from milk for a filling breakfast. And, as a bonus, it’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

It starts with the usual green smoothie base: spinach, banana, milk, chia seeds, and peanut butter. Protein powder is optional, but I like to add a scoop of the Vega Coconut Almond.

Then blend it all up. No need to add ice since it will go in the fridge anyway. Pour into a bowl or tall jar – be sure to leave room for the oats!

Stir in the oats and chia seeds:


Then into the fridge over night. This one will get thicker than normal overnight oats because of the spinach, so you may need a splash more milk. You can check in the morning and adjust as needed :).

You could also blend in the oats and it would be more like a dough boy smoothie. Finally, all the toppings!

    I’ve never tried a green smoothie and oats – in one bowl! Interesting combination, haha, I guess it’s pretty convenient. Bonus points for St. Paddy’s Day too! 😉

      Hi Jordyn,

      Thanks for your comment! I don’t want my posts to get bogged down with calories and grams of this and that, but if you are someone who is tracking those nutrients, you can easily copy and paste the recipes into My Fitness Pal’s Recipe Calc and get the numbers fast.

      well no longer Davidson sadly, but they put up quite the fight!! I’d be happy with either a Duke or Virginia win!

        That was such an exciting game! We were definitely rooting for Davidson. I can root for UVA since we used to live in Virginia but never Duke since I’m an Michigan alumna. 😉

    I tasted it after I mixed it all together and it’s yummy. I put it in my freezer for tomorrow morning. My only question is do I let it thaw out beforefor I eat it or just automatically eat it? Or do I warm it up? I’ve never tried over night oat smoothie before.

      Don’t freeze it – just put in the fridge!! You can eat cold or at room temp. You can also microwave a little to take the chill out, but I wouldn’t heat this one due to the spinach.
