🥣 Overnight Oats – 3 Delicious Ways

Healthy, Quick & No-Cook Breakfast Recipes

When mornings feel rushed, but you still want a nourishing and satisfying breakfast — Overnight Oats are your answer! These no-cook oats are made by soaking rolled oats in milk or yogurt overnight, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture by morning. Packed with fiber, protein, and endless flavor options, they’re perfect for busy days, meal prep, and even weight management.

• ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
