Overnight Oats Meal Prep

This recipe is perfect for meal prep because it has 5 servings. It allows you to simplify your mornings and ensures you never have to compromise on a nutritious start to your day. I've made it a habit to prepare these oats on Sunday night so I can wake up to a delicious breakfast that's waiting for me in the fridge. It's become one of my favorite grab-and-go options.

Oats: A Complex Carbohydrate

Starting your day with oats is a great choice. As a complex carbohydrate, oats release energy slowly, keeping you energized and full throughout the morning. They're also a great source of fiber, aiding in digestion and contributing to heart health. This recipe not only offers the nutritional benefits of oats but also incorporates shredded carrots (yay sneaking in veggies), and walnuts for a crunch and healthy fats.

This recipe is also packed with protein from the non-dairy greek yogurt which works nicely with the oats to make a complete breakfast.

Toppings for Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

The toppings can add flavor and a fun element to your breakfast.

I would recommend topping these carrot cake overnight oats with a bit more non-dairy greek yogurt, cinnamon, walnuts, and nut butter of choice. To me, my favorite nut butter is cashew butter for its creaminess.

For the non-dairy greek yogurt, these are my 2 favorite yogurts that have a good amount of protein and minimal added ingredients. 1. Sigis plain sweetened yogurt 2. Kite Hill plain greek yogurt. I like these because they are a good source of protein and are a great consistency.
