How to Make

There is a well-developed creamy taste when you combine mashed banana and Greek yogurt. It gives you energy and makes you also feel full all day long.

Start the week off with a fridge full of no-cook oatmeal. Go ahead and make a batch of banana yogurt overnight oats so that your grab-and-go meals are ready for the road!

Ingredients:

• Old-fashioned rolled oats
• Greek yogurt
• Almond milk
• Mashed banana
• Chia seed
• Honey
• Vanilla extract

First, let’s make a banana-flavored liquid base to soak your oats that will deeply enhance the taste. Pick a ripe banana and mash it with a fork at the bottom of a mason jar.

Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. You want to combine the banana with the yogurt and oat. In addition, make sure the chia seeds don’t clump up and stick together. Cover the container and place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before eating.

In the morning, give the no-cook oatmeal a quick stir. Then, feel free to decorate the delicious oats with a variety of toppings such as sliced banana, fresh berries, or apple chips, and even a scoop of nut butter. You can also toss on a handful of granola, dried fruit, and extra nuts to explode your taste buds!

Tips & Tricks

First and foremost, this recipe requires you to use overripe bananas. Extra-ripened bananas may not be tasty on their own, but they are very easy to mash and add much more flavor and natural sweetness to your no-cook oats.

Other than that, let’s review a few additional tips to make your banana yogurt overnight oats fresh and delicious enough that you’ll want to eat them all week long.

• Avoid using quick oats or steel-cut oats for this recipe. They tend to get too soggy and mushy when soaked overnight. Furthermore, steel-cut oats are not recommended for soaking because they won’t soften enough to eat the next day. 
• Substitute overnight oats with water instead of almond milk if the banana yogurt is too creamy for you. No cooked oats taste good with water, just make sure to have flavorful yogurt and toppings that will help to balance the bland taste.
• Add chopped dried banana chips or drizzle with honey to add a sweet and crunchy texture to this recipe.
• Always stir before topping your oatmeal with any garnishes. The bottom oats can become mushier than the top part.
• Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Pack the meal prep in an airtight mason jar to make it ready to go.
