the calm before the storm! he’ll be up in an hour I’m make g the mos of the peace
I love my time before the house wakes. Seems like you do too. x
I’ve been obsessed with overnight oats lately. I like to add 2 tablespoons of white chia seeds to mine, you can’t taste them but they’re full of omega 3’s (or something haha!) and they make me feel like I’m being really healthy. Sometimes I make mine with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter, a cheeky bit of maple syrup and some cinnamon. So yum!
Haha I’m like that with LSA, makes me feel super healthy and proud of myself!
That sounds delicious. I’ll have to give it a go. I am lucky enough to have calm mornings at the moment…it’s just me and my 14 month old son in the mornings. I know that will change as he gets older, we add to the family and we have to get out the door by a certain time. Jx
This sounds so good!!! What is the texture of the oatmeal like in the morning? Chewy? I’ve never tried this method before but very interested.
It’s got a little bit of a bite left to it, so not too mushy. I was surprised.
Lovely, must try this, the vanilla is a great idea. I’ve been having bircher muesli off and on, oats soaked in apple juice, with half macadamias and craisins. Outrageously yummy. My total dream would be for the kids to eat this too… no luck so far.
That WOULD be a dream!
Delicious! When I make this oatmeal cups I use frozen bananas and a spoon of Nutella plus the yogurt, milk and oats. I love them and very filling.
Yum!
this looks amazing…what kind of jar are we talking about? Sorry for such an obvious question!
It’s an old pasta sauce jar. So it’s enough for one person. x
This will be perfect for me to eat in the traffic on the way to work after the gym 🙂 Especially in a jar – no leaks!! Thanks Chantelle!
Good idea!
Oh brilliant. There are times when I have to work 11am-2pm but pre 11am is too early for lunch and post 2pm is getting into the hunger stage by the time I get home. Something like this would be a perfect for a late morning fill up 🙂
Jamie Oliver has a recipe something like this although it’s more wintry with sultanas and cinnamon! I used to do this when I worked at Gatwick airport as we were unable to take milk through security.
I love porridge!

Thanks for sharing this. Mine is already in the fridge ready for breakfast in the morning! Can’t wait!
How did it go Teresa? Did you like it?
I loved it!!! I especially loved that it was ready to go… and I was in a rush this morning. I will be blogging about this delicious little breakfast of yours.. Thanks!!
Any guess as to how long this would keep? Could I make 5 on Sunday night and have breakfast all week 😉
Oh gosh, I think as long as the yoghurt was in date it should be right. Can you do the sniff test and check? 😛
I hate the taste of greek yogurt, and oatmeal is too mushy weird for me…but this might cure all the texture issues I have with them all. At least it’s worth a try, right. Off to the store today and we’ll see how it goes.
Do you hate the sourness of Greek yoghurt? I think it’s about finding the right one. If you’re in Australia I like the one something union. My mum got me onto it, and it’s delish. Let me know if you like it. x
I don’t have any Greek yoghurt but I’ve got baby yoghurt in the fridge… Might use that and see if it works lol
Yum! Sounds delish!
Re the greek yoghurt, I used to hate it. But now I make my own so I can make it as tart or mild as I like (I’m not keen on really tart yoghurt). Look for EsiYo in the supermarket – so worth it to make your own fresh yoghurt and so easy (my kids can do it).
This sounds great, but one question….do you just eat it cold? Is it good hot?
Just cold. Not sure about heating it up, to be honest. I think it suits being cold. 🙂
I heat mine up and then add a topping and it tastes fine 🙂
