This recipe by Min Kwon, M.S., R.D. was part of an email I just received from Food Network. One look at the ingredients and I knew this would be delicious and healthy too. Besides, I had all of the ingredients to make this for breakfast.
What a nice breakfast of oats, strawberry yogurt, chia seeds and 1/2 banana topped with fresh fruit…
Overnight Oats with Yogurt, Chia Seeds and Banana for One
- 1/3 cup dairy milk, almond, cashew or coconut milk (I used 2% dairy milk)
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup yogurt (I used Oikos Triple Zero blended Greek yogurt)
- 1 tsp. chia seeds
- 1/2 banana, mashed
Combine above ingredents in a jar and refrigerate overnight.
Serve with fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, nut butter, protein powder, granola, coconut or any ingredient(s) of your choice.
Serves 1
NOTE: I have left out the yogurt before and the mixture is not so thick – I like it!

The ingredients…
Healthy and tasty. A good way to start the day! 🙂
Yup – I agree. I have a few recipes already posted but this is the best combination for me anyways 🙂 I think I will quit looking for any better recipe…
Yumolicious. 😋🍃
Healthy too 🙂
This is a timely recipe for me – my cardiologist just this week recommended I include oats and chia seeds regularly in my diet to keep my heart healthy. Looking forward to trying this!
Thanks – I like this a lot and know you will too. Just make it to taste but do include oats and chia seeds. There are choices for milk (this morning I made it with unsweetened almond milk), yogurt and the banana is optional. The toppings can be your favorite nut, fruit, etc. 🙂 Add more liquid if it’s too thick!
i do love overnight oats. I use almond milk, and sometimes add a bit of 100% apple juice. So delish!
Yes, I use almond milk (unsweetened) in my smoothies too! Apple juice is a great addition – I will have to keep that in mind 🙂
I should really try this. I see it so often!
The oats have many healthy ingredients, simple to make and its’made the night before 🙂 As you see it can be made to taste!
I think this is a great “go to” breakfast or anytime meal. I used to make overnight oats all the time and haven’t in quite awhile. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks – It’s on a regular breakfast rotation for me now. Always had trouble getting oats into my diet and this is the perfect way with so many other healthy ingredients 🙂
This is very close to the overnight oak recipe I make, although I often eat it for lunch or late breakfast after the gym. Delicious and heart-healthy.
Yes, I always feel good when I eat this – I found it’s better for me to eat it later rather than first thing in the morning 🙂
