Not only are overnight oats a bit of a time saver in the morning, but it is a nice, cool alternative to a steamy bowl of oatmeal on a hot summer day.

The beauty of overnight oats is that you can truly create endless varieties with your add-ins. Today, I’m going with a seasonal twist by combining ripe peaches, oranges, and coconut, with a hint of almond in my Tropical Overnight Oats. Enjoy!

 

 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/3 cup granulated stevia, to taste (or preferred sweetener)
• 3 tbsp shredded coconut flakes
• Fresh squeezed juice from 1 small orange
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
• 1 ripe peach, pitted and cut into bite size chunks
 

PREPARATION

• In a bowl, combine oats, yogurt, coconut milk, stevia, coconut flakes, orange juice, extracts, and salt and mix well to thoroughly combine.

• Next, mix in the diced peaches (you can reserve a portion to put on top or mix it all in) and briefly stir to combine.

• Apportion the oat mixture evenly into two sealable containers and put in the fridge overnight (or at least 4-5 hours). Note, the longer the oats sit the better the flavors will come out and the more oats will absorb the liquid.

•That’s it! In the morning, simply grab the containers from the fridge, grab a spoon … and enjoy!
