Apple Overnight Oats with Grapes
ThemedBreakfastMeal prepHigh proteinAmerican
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 medium crisp apples
- 1 cup red seedless grapes
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- 1Wash the apples thoroughly under cool water, then core and dice them into small bite-size pieces, leaving the skin on for extra fiber and color.
- 2Halve the grapes and set both fruits aside in a bowl so they are ready to fold in.
- 3In a large mixing bowl combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for a full minute until the mixture looks creamy and evenly blended with no dry pockets of oats.
- 4Fold the diced apples and halved grapes gently into the oat mixture so the fruit is distributed throughout without crushing the grapes.
- 5Spoon the mixture evenly into four clean 16-ounce jars or meal-prep containers, pressing lightly so there are no large air gaps.
- 6Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of each jar for crunch.
- 7Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate them for at least 6 hours or overnight so the oats soften and the flavors meld.
- 8In the morning give each jar a quick stir; if the mixture seems too thick, loosen it with a splash of extra almond milk.
- 9Tear the fresh mint leaves and scatter them over each serving just before eating for a bright herbal finish.
- 10Serve cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl; the oats keep well for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
