My husband is a Firefighter Paramedic. He works long hours at a very busy station, with often no time get a meal in. I am a stay at home Mama to our two babes (which actually, now that I think of it, has that same job description ha ha). I found myself always having the good intention to make breakfasts ahead of time so there would be something for him to take to work in the morning… but we all know how that goes. Life is busy, it’s chaotic, and by the end of the day when you put the kids to bed, the last thing you want to do is whip up a batch of make-ahead egg muffins with veggies, onions, meats… No thank you, I will be falling over onto the couch when that time of day hits.
I finally found the perfect solution to the breakfast dilemma– Overnight Oats! This takes less than 5 minutes to prep, before throwing it into the fridge for the night. He can grab them on his way out the door, and they are ready to eat!
I created my own little version with the ingredients we love. Not only is the recipe healthy and filling, but it’s also vegan, dairy, and gluten free. So everyone can enjoy these Oats!
The very best part to this recipe is the So Delicious Almond Milk. If you haven’t gotten your hands on this yet, do it. Their organic almond milks are made with 7 REAL ingredients or less, so you know exactly what you’re drinking. Just 50 calories per serving, and they taste so light and smooth. Heck, even the bottle is made from 80% plants! Finding a product that is organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and dairy-free means that I can serve this almond milk to any of my house guests in my recipes! This is a staple product in my home.

I LOVE overnight oats, but I’ve never tried this recipe before! I have a boat load of chia to use. I’m thinking this is what I need to use them in. <3
This looks super delicious! I love recipes that include fresh fruits!
I love overnight oats and I am excited to try this recipe!
Great share, I’ve never tried overnight oats before, and we don’t have this brand of almond milk in the UK, so I will have to substitute with some other.
This is a must try for me!
This looks really realy good!
I love easy to make, healthy recipes. This fits the bill and I can take it with me. A blast of coconut flavor with banana and almond milk is perfect for this morning! Thanks for the inspiration. <3 xo Evelyn, Path of Presence
This looks yummy! Haven’t tried overnight oats but I’m excited to try this one out!
nice it looks tasty. I hope I can find those ingredients on our local stores.. (it may be hard to when you’re in the Philippines..:)
This looks so yummy! I have just swapped to almond milk as a substitute
This looks delicious. Unfortunately I am allergic to almonds. Do you think I could replace with coconut milk? And maybe a different nut?
Sure! The recipe is super flexible to your own tastes!
now this is something I have to try. my hubby is always so hungry at work in the morning because he often skips breakfast or is too rushed to fit in a real meal. Definitely going to try this out for both of us!
Yes! It will be perfect for him and keep him full longer. You will love it too ❤️
