MyHealthyVegas’s spin on Overnight Oats

I decided to give instant oats a try. I see them on everyone’s food blog so why not. After researching many recipes it came down to preference.

Do you like your oatmeal thick or do you add milk to thin it out a bit? I prefer thick oats so I opted to use greek yogurt for mine. I did learn an important tip that while the oat to liquid ratio should be 1:1. It is actually better to add just a little more liquid.

After a quick trip to the craft store to get a couple of mason jars I was ready to give this a try.

For toppings I went with blueberries and almonds. This was so easy and so tasty.
