Hi friends!
Coming to you today with another overnight oats recipes. If you've browsed this blog for more than a minute you've seen my obsession with overnight oats. They have been my breakfast staple for years now. They're delicious, nutritious and filling and I never get bored of them because there are virtually infinite flavor options. Plus, as a working woman, it's hard to find time to make breakfast in the morning before work. But if I whip up five servings of overnight oats on Sunday and store them in mason jars I'm all set for the week. I just roll out of bed in the morning, grab a mason jar from the fridge and dig in.
For anyone who needs breakfast in the morning (guilty - I get super hangry without it) but doesn't have much time I always recommend trying overnight oats at least once. Give it a try. See if you like it. If you do, your breakfast problem is solved. And you can start making any flavor you want. When I first started eating overnight oats I found Pinterest to be a great resource for recipes. Eventually, I started experimenting with my own combinations and you'll see many of those recipes on this blog. I'm trying new ones all the time.
Which brings us to today's new flavor: Blueberry Cheesecake. These oats use a combination of low-fat cream cheese and, of course, blueberries to give breakfast an indulgent dessert feel. But, I assure you, these are 100% guilt-free and are a great nutritious way to start the day. That'll be our little secret.
