Skye’s PB & J Overnight Oats

Overnight oats ingredients

Maybe you snoozed your alarm one too many times or you’re running late to catch the bus. Either way, many students have trouble finding enough time to eat a nutritious breakfast, and end up skipping it altogether! Consequently, you may find it more difficult to focus in class and may reach for less nutritious foods throughout the day.

This is my breakfast spinoff of the classic combination, PB & J. These oats will leave you feeling satisfied and ready to tackle your day and perhaps nostalgic for the PB & J sandwiches you ate in the 2nd grade…or still eat, like me :) Overnight oats are a great breakfast, especially if you have a busy schedule because you can meal prep them, take them to go and they take less then 5 minutes to prepare. And who said making breakfast had to be hard?! I hope you enjoy!

Eating a balanced and nutritious breakfast is the best way to kickstart your day. It replenishes your body after sleeping and provides you with the energy to help fuel your day. It is no lie that students have very busy schedules BUT breakfast does not need to be a time-consuming task if you follow these 3 tips!

1. Meal Prep

Make your breakfast the night before (like my PB & J Overnight Oats recipe below) or make a bigger batch at the beginning of the week. You can cook once and eat twice or even thrice!

2. Set the Stage

Plan what to eat for breakfast the night before and then set out the dry ingredients and equipment you need. That way you have less to do in the morning!

3. On the Go

Pack your breakfast in a container, jar, or thermos so you can just grab and go in the morning if you are running late!


PB & J Overnight Oats Recipe

1 tbsp hemp hearts

Method

  1. Mix together all ingredients in a jar or container.
  2. Leave in the fridge overnight.
