Milo Overnight Oats
And a great overnight oats base recipe to customise yourself! The perfect budget-friendly meal prep breakfast.
Overnight oats are such a great breakfast option! They’re one of the few meal prep breakfasts we do and my husband especially is obsessed with them.
Here’s why I love overnight oats so much:
They’re easy to add protein to
They’re easy to take with you on the go
They’re easy to prep ahead of time
They’re so customisable - any flavour is possible!
They’re super budget friendly!!
If you’re not into Milo, that’s fine! I mean… I’m confused, but it’s ok! The base of this recipe will work so well with whatever flavour sounds good to you. Check out the recipe below!
Recipe is for 1 serving
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oats (whatever kind you like best)
1 tsp vanilla protein powder OR a dash of vanilla essence
1/3 cup yoghurt (I prefer high protein/greek yoghurt but any will work)
1/3 cup milk (again, any will work)
2 heaped teaspoons Milo (optional)
Method:
Mix oats and protein powder together (if you’re using protein powder).
Add in wet ingredients (including vanilla essence if you’ve skipped the protein powder) and mix REALLY THOROUGHLY.
Top with whatever flavourings suit you. For the Milo version it’s best to leave the milo on top, but if it’s fruit you can leave it on top or mix it in.
Other flavour ideas:
Banoffee (banana & caramel topping/syrup or even caramel protein powder)
Apple pie (canned pie apple with cinnamon, or apple puree)
Carrot cake (shredded carrot, chopped walnuts with some sort of caramel flavour, you could also add a little cream cheese with the milk)
Berries
Peaches & cream (canned peaches with some added cream)
Happy breakfasting! Let me know if you decide to make this :D
