Tropical Overnight Oats

It’s that time of year when I want pineapple mixed with everything! Count me in for all the pineapple salsa, pineapple on pizza and now mixed into my overnight oats. These Tropical Overnight Oats may not be as good as drinking a tropical drink on the beach, but they definitely hit the spot for an easy, delicious breakfast. There are many flavors of overnight oats here on One Balanced Life, and I’m excited for you to give these a try!

This combo with the sweetness of the pineapple and the creaminess of the overnights is a good one! I love having overnight oats prepared for the week as an easy breakfast. There are so many ways to switch them up too! These Tropical Overnight Oats will give you all the summer feels, while also being a healthy breakfast that you can count on during the week. It’s important to start your day with a meal that will fuel you for the day. These are a great choice for that!

If you’re finding yourself hungry throughout the day or in between your meals, it may be that you’re not fueling yourself properly during meal time. With these overnight oats, you’re getting a good mix of protein, fat and carbs. Which is what you want to aim for in all your meals! Want to add more protein to these? Try adding in a scoop of flavorless collagen peptides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of oat?

No! These have only been tested with rolled oats. I recommend using rolled oats to get the same creamy consistency once they soak up in the fridge.

How long do I store my overnight oats in the fridge?

I recommend storing them overnight in the fridge! In the morning, you can top them with a little more almond milk if you prefer them to not be as thick. If you need overnight oats quick, then you can usually get away with soaking them for 4+ hrs in the fridge before enjoying 😉

Can I double this recipe for meal prep?

Yes! If you want to make more than one jar of overnight oats for the week, you can double this recipe to have two breakfasts prepped for the week!
