If you don't have time to make breakfast in the mornings, Overnight Oats are a meal prep game-changer. Healthy, delicious, and super easy to prep - you can have a work week's worth of breakfast prepared in minutes. I especially love them because they keep me feeling full for hours.

There are a ton of different and fun flavours to try - here I'll show you 6 of my favourite overnight oats flavour combinations, everything from bold and decadent to fruity and tropical.

NOTE #1: For all recipes, refrigerate overnight for the best texture - but if you don't have time, make sure to refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. The longer they soak, the softer and creamier they'll taste!

NOTE #2: While there are different types of oats, Rolled Oats are ideal for Overnight Oats:
► Rolled Oats have been cooked, dried and rolled flat
► Steel Cut Oats are RAW and need to be cooked first (for roughly 30-40 mins) before consumption
► Quick Oats are rolled oats that have been cut into thinner, smaller flakes - making them too mushy for Overnight Oats and not ideal
