Overnight Oats for People Who Hate Mornings

Prep it at night. Grab it in the morning. Stop eating gas station food.

You know what you won't do at 6:47 AM? Cook. So do it the night before. Five minutes of assembly, 8 hours of refrigerator magic, and you walk out the door with actual breakfast in a jar. No drive-thru. No excuses.

1

Get A Jar

Mason jar, Tupperware, old pasta sauce jar you washed out — doesn't matter. You need something with a lid that holds about 16 oz. If you're using a bowl, you're doing it wrong, because you need to SHAKE this thing.

2

Dump Everything In

Oats, Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, honey, and peanut butter. All of it. Right in the jar. No special order, no "folding technique," no culinary bullshit. This is assembly, not cooking.

The chia seeds are non-negotiable. They're what makes it thick instead of soggy.
3

Shake It

Lid on tight. Shake for 15 seconds like you mean it. Everything should be combined. If you see dry oats on top, shake more.

4

Fridge. Overnight.

Put it in the fridge. Go to bed. Stop checking on it. Seriously, leave it alone for at least 6 hours. The oats soak, the chia does its thing, and by morning it's pudding-thick and ready.

5

Top & Eat

In the morning: pull the jar out, dump the blueberries on top, grab a spoon. That's it. Eat it at your desk, on the train, standing in your kitchen in a towel — anywhere but a drive-thru.

This IS your breakfast. Not a "snack before breakfast." Stop it.
