I don't really like or live by food rules, but there is one rule I stick to no matter what - don't skip breakfast. I'm a person who doesn't function well without a nourishing meal in the morning, so no matter how busy things are, I make sure to always eat a healthy breakfast. A lot of times, I have to plan ahead and make my breakfast the night before. And a lot of times, it looks like this. An easy, delicious jar of overnight oats. This is one of my simplest overnight oats recipes - orange creamsicle overnight oats with no added sugar - yum!
Why You'll Love These Overnight Oats
With only 5 simple ingredients these overnight oats couldn't be any easier to make. Just mix it all up in a jar in less than 5 minutes and refrigerate overnight to have a delicious, nutritious breakfast ready for you first thing in the morning. They taste delicious - just like your favorite creamy, vanilla-y orange treat, but in oatmeal form. Top with your favorite fresh fruit or simply grab a spoon in the morning and dig in for a citrusy, sunny treat!
What Makes Them Healthy
This oatmeal has got it all - whole grains, fiber and healthy fats from oats and flaxseed; protein and calcium from Greek yogurt; and vitamin C, folate, potassium, and thiamin from 100% orange juice. Because orange juice is naturally sweet, there is no need for excess added sugar, which means your blood sugar stays more stable and you feel more energized, longer.
