This creamy blend of orange juice, oats, yogurt, and honey will be your new favorite breakfast in no time! Make it the night before and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight so you can have a tasty and refreshing treat the next morning before work, a walk, or a get-together. No matter what you have planned, our overnight oats recipe has you covered. For a sweeter taste, use vanilla nut milk instead of regular milk and drizzle some extra honey on top. The natural sugars in the orange juice and orange slices will add to the flavor. It's a dessert in everything but the nutrition label, which is packed full of health-boosting nutrients and vitamins.

What Kind of Oats Should You Use for Overnight Oats?

If you're new to the oats game, it's important to know the difference between steel cut oats and rolled oats so you get the right ones. They're not interchangeable without a serious texture change. Steel cut oats are less processed, making them coarser and chewier than rolled oats. They also have a distinct nutty flavor. Rolled oats, on the other hand, go through a steaming and flattening process. This gives them a milder flavor and much softer texture, making them the perfect base for your breakfast.

Overnight Oats Benefits

The flavor and texture aren't the only things going for your oats. These whole grains are a great source of protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. A scoop of these alongside Vitamin C-rich orange juice, honey, and nut milk will get your morning off on the right foot when it comes to your stomach.
