Good evening Good morning!!!
It’s last-night-me talking here 🙂 Packed up this gourmet overnight oats in a jar to take to work. I have to be in at 7AM! Most of the RDs eat their breakfast once they get to work, so I’ll be chomping beside them tomorrow today 🙂
Today’s mix was overnight oats in a TJ’s Valencia PB jar that had nothing left in it. Somebody scraped it too clean!! So I added Nuttzo PF to the top!
The Mix
- 1/3 cup raw oats
- 1/2 cup Voskos plain low-fat greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 banana
- Lingonberry preserves
- Nuttzo PF
And a small jar of Nature’s Path granola on the side to be mixed in. About 2 tbsp.
Coffee from the cafeteria TBD!!!
I’m working with Caitlin today and am excited to spend the day with a friend!
Until lunch…
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Not Caitlin from HTP surely!?
Ouch at 7am :s that’s tough!! I find having to be somewhere at 8am bad enough 😛
Have a great day 🙂
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
I hate eating breakfast at work. I like to have at least 2 meals at home. Breakfast at your desk kinda sucks.
Evelyn @ cheers2healthy says
I’m loving the jars you’re reusing!! Good for you 😀
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
I love OIAJ. Or is it OOIAJ (overnight oats in a jar)? Either way, looks like a great way to start out the day!
Sara @ myfancytuna.blogspot.com says
Looks good! I wouldn’t mind breakfast at work as long as I wasn’t rushed to eat it…I hate trying to squeeze my tasty lunches in my fifteen minute breaks.
Allie says
Eating breakfast at work is the way to go! It is worth the wait 🙂 Do your coworkers envy your eats?
sweetersalt says
Love overnight oats with a “mooshed” up banana. It gives it a nice sweetness!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I used to eat my breakfast at work when I was a teacher and it made it so easier.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I love overnight oats in the summer. They’re so transportable too- perfect for eating on the go! I have a jar of that TJ’s peanut butter that I should really break into, it’s a good one!
RhodeyGirl Tests says
Love those itty bitty containers you use for granola!
Wei-Wei says
Caitlin from HTP?? Have fun today! Moving day is near O.O

Kath says
No silly! She is not an RD! Caitlin my friend from the hospital 🙂
Camille says
Hope you have a great day! The week is almost over 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Great start to today! I made overnight oats for the first time yesterday and I liked it, but I think I need to play with it more since I did not love it. I did it banana split style. I liked the cool aspect of it and the flavor. I think the texture could be creamier though.
Have a great day!
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
I like how the nut butter jars are convenient for packing on-the-go breakfasts!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
Almost there Kath! A great breakfast for an exciting day! 🙂
Marissa says
I hate when people scrape every last bit of peanut butter out of the jar–or worse, throw it away in the trash! LE GASP!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Yummy breakfast! And working with a friend always makes the day go by so much faster…have fun!
Katherine says
I just want to point out that those preserves are from Ikea. Great find!
shannon (the daily balance) says
have fun with Caitlin! 😉
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
aw, hope you guys have fun! working with friends is the best!
Lindsay says
Oh.. I had a dream about Nuttzo! I found it in a box like soy milk comes in and was excited that I had finally found it, but it was only Nuttzo milk! haha. Than I was very disappointed because they didn’t have Nuttzo butter. Haha. I think I am making creations in my own head.. Nuttzo milk?? haha
Kath says
Ha!
The Wife of a Dairyman says
The preserves mixed in looks delicious:)
Hannah says
Yay! I’m very likely about to start a PhD where I’ll be working in the same research school as a few friends, so Yay for Friends At Work! Also, when I start, I plan to use your overnight oats recipe all the time. I’m not good a cooking in the morning! 😀
Maria says
Hi Kath, your photography is amazing! I am a relatively new reader/blogger and your pictures are always so gorgeous! Thanks for the everyday inspiration. : )

It is always nice to have a friendly face at work. Enjoy your office breakfast. Oatmeal still looks way better than a stashed in the purse granola bar.
Kayli (Running on Sunshine) says
Those oats look amazing!
I’m a Nutrition undergrad and I’m thinking about applying to internships in North/South Carolina. It’s so beautiful there! Any internship tips?
Kath says
Nothing specific. Get as much nutrition experience as you can beforehand to make yourself a strong candidate!
Kelly says
I need to work on my AB jar so I can do some kind of oats in a jar soon! Today’s breakfast involved jelly and was eaten in the car, ending up in pure tragedy all over my dress. Thank goodness I was wearing black. 😉 Have a nice day! You’re almost done!
Kristin (Salty Tooth) says
I love working with friends, it always makes the day go by a little faster.
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Mmmm oats in a jar! They look glorious!
Krystina says
I’ve been wanting to try overnight oats in a jar, but I love the melty leftover nut butter so much in regular OIAJ that I don’t think I’d enjoy it cold as much.
Veggielady4life says
Enjoy your breakfast at work! Hope you have a good day!
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
Oh boy that’s an early morning – yikes! I just love your overnight OIAJ. I have a jar that should be ready in a couple days – I can’t WAIT 😀
Meg says
Early day! Hope you enjoy your breakfast – looks amazing as usual, and in a perfect carrying container 😉
Happy Thurs., Kath!
Sarah R says
Kath, have you seen that you were nominated one of the 50 Best Blogs for Cleaner Eating by NursingSchools.net? http://bit.ly/cgJjHG Pretty cool! Congrats! I think I’ll mix up some oats like this for tomorrow breakfast.
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
Friends make time fly 🙂 Enjoy your day!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
it’s time for some overnight oats! i just gotta remember to do it!
Sarah says
Breakfast looks delicious, as always!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Overnight oats must make early mornings SO much easier!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
You’re hardcore! All posting from the night before and what-not. hehe Your oats look to die for. I’m not ‘with-it’ enough to make my breakfast the night before which may be why I have never had over night oats.

Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I love that Tj’s pb with flax and love the almond butter with flax even better. The flax adds a perfect crunch.
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I need to find Voskos yogurt!! Everyone is saying it’s so good. 🙂
