Easy Overnight Oats Meal Prep (1 week of breakfasts in 10 min!)
EASY OVERNIGHT OATS MEAL PREP
A lot of people don’t realize that NOT all overnight oats keep well for meal prep; it really depends on what ingredients you use!
So that’s why I’m so excited to show you these three, because…
– They’re perfect for meal prep! I’ve intentionally used ingredients that keep really well for multiple days.
– They’re so delicious, but they’re flavors that are simple enough to have with or without toppings.
– And they only take 10 minutes to prep (so in 10 minutes, you can have all your breakfasts ready for the week)!
I’ve decided that these are the kinds of flavors that I really like to prep in big batches because they’re flavors that I can still look forward to eating on day 4 (they’re simple enough that I don’t get tired of them).
All of these are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan (well, they can be if you use plant-based ingredients like I have!).
Hope you enjoy!

These are all really simple to make, you can see me put them together in this video below!
EVERYDAY COFFEE OVERNIGHT OATS
This one’s a little energy boost for the morning! It’s really easy to make – just mix all of the ingredients together and store in airtight jars or containers.
I usually eat my coffee overnight oats plain, but I’ve listed some of my favorite toppings below!
Ingredients (for 1 serving):
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 2 tsp chia seeds
– 1 tbsp *almond butter
– 2 tsp instant coffee powder (I use freeze-dried)
– 2 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 3/4 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
– 2 cups rolled oats
– 8 tsp chia seeds
– 1/4 cup *almond butter
– 8 tsp instant coffee (I use freeze-dried)
– 8 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 3 cups milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
Ingredients (for 5 servings):
– 2 + 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 10 tsp chia seeds
– 5 tbsp *almond butter (I use freeze-dried)
– 10 tsp instant coffee
– 10 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 3 + 3/4 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
*Almond butter: peanut butter also works, however it will give the overnight oats a peanut butter-coffee flavor – instead of just plain coffee flavor. Both are nice!
Calories per serving: Roughly 375 calories without toppings
Suggested toppings:
– Blueberries
– Banana slices
– Fresh medjool dates (chopped in pieces)

UPGRADED VANILLA OVERNIGHT OATS
I’ve shared many plain or classic vanilla overnight oats on my blog and YouTube channel before, but this is seriously upgraded! I’ve been working on it and tweaking it, and it’s really delicious! I’ve also been blending the oats for this one before mixing them with the other ingredients, but it works just as well with them left whole. This is essentially a “blank canvas” and works with just about any toppings, but I’ve suggested some of my favorites below. I also sometimes just eat it plain!
Ingredients (for 1 serving):
– 1/2 cup rolled oats (blended or left whole)
– 2 tsp chia seeds
– 2 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)
– 1/2 cup milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
– 2 cups rolled oats (blended or left whole)
– 8 tsp chia seeds
– 8 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)

– 1 cup plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)
– 2 cups milk (I use unsweetened soy milk)
Ingredients (for 5 servings):
– 2 + 1/2 cup rolled oats (blended or left whole)
– 10 tsp chia seeds
– 10 tsp brown sugar (or any sugar/ sweetener)
– 2 + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 + 1/4 cups plain yogurt (I use unsweetened coconut yogurt)

RASPBERRY OVERNIGHT OATS
This is a new favorite of mine, and it’s really easy to make! Just blend the raspberries and milk together before mixing them with all the other ingredients. Then, store in airtight jars or containers. I like to eat mine with fresh raspberries on top!
