I used to be the person who never hit the snooze button. I would jump out of bed the second my alarm went off. I’ve gotten into the bad habit of staying up too late doing work. Sometimes I just get on a roll and keep working until my eyes can barely stay open. I know this is such a bad habit. I’m working on it..

This month’s Recipe Redux theme is “Grab a Book and Cook” which is a fun way to remake a recipe from your favorite cookbook. I grabbed my newest book from my collection for this month’s theme.
I love overnight oats. This new mocha overnight oats variation has become my new favorite! It is adapted from Lauren Harris-Pincus’ “The Protein-Packed Breakfast Club” cookbook.

I never thought to add coffee to my overnight oats. This is genius! The little extra pick me up, plus the mocha flavor is a perfect way to start the day. The original recipe calls for the addition of coffee and chocolate protein powder, but I only had vanilla protein powder, so I added that plus a little cocoa powder to get that same mocha flavor.

Prepare your breakfast in the evening or on the weekend to save precious time during the morning rush while ensuring you begin the day with an energizing, protein-packed breakfast! Try these Mocha Overnight Oats inspired…

Meal prep is key for busy weeks. I still don’t understand when I am counseling clients who tell me they skip breakfast. I need my fuel first thing in the morning to start the day.

I used to never hit the snooze button, but when I make my breakfast in advance I justify the little extra time I have in the morning to get ready.

This recipe is so easy to make!


I decided to use Wild Blueberries because I love how sweet and tart they are. Any fruit would work with this recipe. Wild Blueberries have twice (2x) the antioxidant capacity of larger, cultivated blueberries.

Pressed for time in the morning, but don’t want to skimp on a nutritious and filling breakfast? Make these Apple Overnight Oats and breakfast will be ready for you as you run out the door!
Apple Pie Overnight Oats via RDelicious Kitchen @rd_kitchenOn these chilly mornings, the snooze button has been becoming my best friend. Overnight oats save my mornings when I leave myself just 20 minutes to get out the door. With just a little prep the night before I know breakfast is ready for me, so I don’t feel guilty for getting those extra 10 (errr 20) minutes of sleep.
Apple Pie Overnight Oats via RDelicious Kitchen @rd_kitchenAfter many mornings of overnight oats, I am always looking for new flavor combos. The base of my overnight oats is typically a plain yogurt or kefir with fruit along with the oats. I often hear that plain yogurt is too tangy and tart. One of my favorite RD tips is to stir in unsweetened applesauce. It adds that sweetness without adding added sugars like flavored yogurts have. Plus, adding a pinch of cinnamon, it adds that perfect sweetness.

I love apple pie, but I typically only eat the filling of the apples and ditch the crust. The soft apples add that extra element of sweetness from the apples being cooked down.

Not have enough time to make a wholesome breakfast every morning? Enjoy this overnight oats recipe that you can make the night before to help power you through your busy morning. 

The Best Overnight Oats: simple & healthy breakfast
Oatmeal is one of those “stick-to-your-guns” kind of breakfast that I know will fuel me through the morning. Problem is, I don’t always have the time in the morning. I will savor that extra 10 minutes of sleep knowing I have breakfast ready to go waiting for me. I’ll even sacrifice doing my hair in the morning for extra sleep. Top buns for the win.

Half the time I am so rushed in the morning, I drink my coffee on the way to work and then eat my breakfast as I am returning emails and getting organized for my day.
The Best Overnight Oats: simple and healthy breakfastSkip those instant oatmeal packets. They are typically loaded with added sugar and even salt! This recipe is packed with ingredients you can feel good about. Filled with fiber & protein, it will keep you full all morning. Overnight, the oats absorb all the liquid and it becomes a thick cake batter consistency.
The Best Overnight Oats: simple and healthy breakfastYou could always heat the oats up, but I enjoy them cold. Of course this recipe can be easily adapted with your favorite fix-ins. I always like adding a little extra fruit on top. And if I am feeling a little indulgent, I’ll stir in a little unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter flavor!
