Good evening Good morning!!!
It’s last-night-me talking here 🙂 Packed up this gourmet overnight oats in a jar to take to work. I have to be in at 7AM! Most of the RDs eat their breakfast once they get to work, so I’ll be chomping beside them tomorrow today 🙂
Today’s mix was overnight oats in a TJ’s Valencia PB jar that had nothing left in it. Somebody scraped it too clean!! So I added Nuttzo PF to the top!
The Mix
- 1/3 cup raw oats
- 1/2 cup Voskos plain low-fat greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 banana
- Lingonberry preserves
- Nuttzo PF
And a small jar of Nature’s Path granola on the side to be mixed in. About 2 tbsp.
Coffee from the cafeteria TBD!!!
I’m working with Caitlin today and am excited to spend the day with a friend!
Until lunch…

Ouch at 7am :s that’s tough!! I find having to be somewhere at 8am bad enough 😛
Have a great day 🙂

June 24, 2010 at 7:29 amI hate eating breakfast at work. I like to have at least 2 meals at home. Breakfast at your desk kinda sucks.
Evelyn @ cheers2healthy says
June 24, 2010 at 7:31 amI’m loving the jars you’re reusing!! Good for you 😀
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
June 24, 2010 at 7:32 amI love OIAJ. Or is it OOIAJ (overnight oats in a jar)? Either way, looks like a great way to start out the day!
Sara @ myfancytuna.blogspot.com says
June 24, 2010 at 7:32 amLooks good! I wouldn’t mind breakfast at work as long as I wasn’t rushed to eat it…I hate trying to squeeze my tasty lunches in my fifteen minute breaks.
Allie says
June 24, 2010 at 7:37 amEating breakfast at work is the way to go! It is worth the wait 🙂 Do your coworkers envy your eats?

June 24, 2010 at 7:39 amLove overnight oats with a “mooshed” up banana. It gives it a nice sweetness!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
June 24, 2010 at 7:41 amI used to eat my breakfast at work when I was a teacher and it made it so easier.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
June 24, 2010 at 7:42 amI love overnight oats in the summer. They’re so transportable too- perfect for eating on the go! I have a jar of that TJ’s peanut butter that I should really break into, it’s a good one!
RhodeyGirl Tests says
June 24, 2010 at 7:44 amLove those itty bitty containers you use for granola!

Camille says
June 24, 2010 at 7:59 amHope you have a great day! The week is almost over 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
June 24, 2010 at 8:10 amGreat start to today! I made overnight oats for the first time yesterday and I liked it, but I think I need to play with it more since I did not love it. I did it banana split style. I liked the cool aspect of it and the flavor. I think the texture could be creamier though.
Have a great day!
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
June 24, 2010 at 8:11 amI like how the nut butter jars are convenient for packing on-the-go breakfasts!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
June 24, 2010 at 8:14 amAlmost there Kath! A great breakfast for an exciting day! 🙂
Marissa says
June 24, 2010 at 8:20 amI hate when people scrape every last bit of peanut butter out of the jar–or worse, throw it away in the trash! LE GASP!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
June 24, 2010 at 8:21 amYummy breakfast! And working with a friend always makes the day go by so much faster…have fun!
Katherine says
June 24, 2010 at 8:42 amI just want to point out that those preserves are from Ikea. Great find!

Lindsay says
June 24, 2010 at 9:21 amOh.. I had a dream about Nuttzo! I found it in a box like soy milk comes in and was excited that I had finally found it, but it was only Nuttzo milk! haha. Than I was very disappointed because they didn’t have Nuttzo butter. Haha. I think I am making creations in my own head.. Nuttzo milk?? haha
Kath says
June 24, 2010 at 11:21 amHa!
The Wife of a Dairyman says
June 24, 2010 at 9:22 amThe preserves mixed in looks delicious:)
Hannah says
June 24, 2010 at 9:24 amYay! I’m very likely about to start a PhD where I’ll be working in the same research school as a few friends, so Yay for Friends At Work! Also, when I start, I plan to use your overnight oats recipe all the time. I’m not good a cooking in the morning! 😀

June 24, 2010 at 9:31 amIt is always nice to have a friendly face at work. Enjoy your office breakfast. Oatmeal still looks way better than a stashed in the purse granola bar.
Kayli (Running on Sunshine) says
June 24, 2010 at 9:33 amThose oats look amazing!
I’m a Nutrition undergrad and I’m thinking about applying to internships in North/South Carolina. It’s so beautiful there! Any internship tips?
Kath says
June 24, 2010 at 11:22 amNothing specific. Get as much nutrition experience as you can beforehand to make yourself a strong candidate!
Kelly says
June 24, 2010 at 9:34 amI need to work on my AB jar so I can do some kind of oats in a jar soon! Today’s breakfast involved jelly and was eaten in the car, ending up in pure tragedy all over my dress. Thank goodness I was wearing black. 😉 Have a nice day! You’re almost done!
Kristin (Salty Tooth) says
June 24, 2010 at 9:43 amI love working with friends, it always makes the day go by a little faster.
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
June 24, 2010 at 9:49 amMmmm oats in a jar! They look glorious!
Krystina says
June 24, 2010 at 9:51 amI’ve been wanting to try overnight oats in a jar, but I love the melty leftover nut butter so much in regular OIAJ that I don’t think I’d enjoy it cold as much.

June 24, 2010 at 9:59 amEnjoy your breakfast at work! Hope you have a good day!
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
June 24, 2010 at 10:07 amOh boy that’s an early morning – yikes! I just love your overnight OIAJ. I have a jar that should be ready in a couple days – I can’t WAIT 😀
Meg says

Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
June 24, 2010 at 11:38 amYou’re hardcore! All posting from the night before and what-not. hehe Your oats look to die for. I’m not ‘with-it’ enough to make my breakfast the night before which may be why I have never had over night oats.

June 24, 2010 at 2:27 pmI love that Tj’s pb with flax and love the almond butter with flax even better. The flax adds a perfect crunch.
