If there was a prize for the breakfast that delivers the highest reward for the least amount of effort, overnight oats would be the clear winner. Just stir a few ingredients together, let them mix and mingle in the fridge while you sleeping, and come morning you have a satisfying breakfast all ready to go.

The berry and nut formula can be mixed and matched depending on your mood or what’s in your kitchen. Swap in raspberries or chopped strawberries for blueberries, opt for pecans or almonds instead of walnuts, and even try flax seeds in place of chia seeds. Regardless of how you assemble it, the result is a satisfying breakfast that will give you the energy you need to get through the long hours of fasting without having your stomach grumble.

This one is sweet and simple. It’s easy to make and even easier to eat: Just grab a spoon, give it a stir, and dig right in.

Ingredients


Oats – ½ cup, old-fashioned rolled (any other type of oats can be substituted) Milk – ½ cup dairy or non-dairy Blueberries – ¼ cup Dates – 3 Walnuts – 2 Tablespoon, chopped Chia seeds – 1 Tablespoon

Instructions

Step 1
Combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup dairy or non-dairy milk, 1/4 cup blueberries, 3 dates, 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a Mason jar, resealable container, or bowl.
Step 2
Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Notes


It’s equally as important to stay hydrated. Drinking a cup or two of water in the morning before suhoor, and then eating the meal without water so that it won’t fill you up while eating. “Make sure the meal isn’t drying. And think about where else you can get fluids that isn’t just water, such as through fruits and vegetables.” Adding ingredients like sliced cucumber is an easy way to do just that.
