5-Minute Overnight Oats Recipe | Easy Healthy Breakfast On The Go

Make these delicious overnight oats in the evening for a healthy breakfast that you can enjoy on the go!

Breakfast has never been my thing. Who’s got time for that? I never did and it’s gotten worse after having my baby. But, at the same time after having my son I started needing a little bit more energy to…well, to wake up and stay alive after those generous 3 hours of sleep.

I needed to eat something right after I woke up to, basically, survive the day and produce some milk. Between feeding the baby, cleaning and trying to keep up with normal necessities I never found time to make or eat breakfast.

So I’d do the next best thing. Which was: SUGAR.

Now, I hope I’m not offending anyone, but I’m not a big fan of “healthy bars”. They’re not my thing.

I like snickers.

Peanut butter and chocolate. I like Pringles, doughnuts, croissants.

How does that sound for breakfast?

“It sounds AWESOME!!!!” – My brain on 3 hours of sleep.

In case you’re wondering: I did gain weight.

But luckily, I also managed, little by little, to start eating healthier. And I discovered a healthy breakfast that was easy and quick enough for me to make and to eat even if I’m on the go.

It’s overnight oats.

Are you shocked?

I know, I’m totally late for this. It’s so 2015. But it’s so pretty.

Still: new for me. And the good thing about this breakfast is that I can make it the night before and then, before I go looking for candy – have that instead.

And I did, most of the time at least – I’m nowhere near perfect with my eating habits, but I’m trying.

So this is my favorite recipe for overnight oats. It’s naturally sweetened with the banana, I always add some mixed frozen berries, some nuts and sometimes a little bit of peanut or almond butter (I’m careful with nut butter because I can really overdo it).

If you also don’t have time to eat or make anything proper in the morning – this recipe might help you too.
