Key Lime Pie Overnight Oats

Servings 1 bowl

Ingredients
  

  • cup Greek yogurt or Skyr, vanilla or key lime

  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • graham crackers, optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients (except for graham crackers) in a mason jar or container with a lid. Save graham crackers for the topping.

  • Keep in the refrigerator overnight or up to 4 days.
  • Before eating, top with crushed graham crackers and enjoy.

Notes

Other Thoughts
  • I recommend using Old Fashioned oats as they are heartier in the fridge for more than one day. Quick oats tend to lose their texture quickly. 
  • If you can find the key lime Skyr at your store, do it! But, honestly if not, your favorite vanilla Greek yogurt or Skyr works great too. 
  • If you want to make this dairy-free, I have not tried it but here are my thoughts. Use 1 full serving of plant-based protein powder, 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt, and increase milk alternative to 3/4 - 1 cup. Plant-based protein powders absorb a lot of fluid. Add more liquid before eating if they get too thick. 
  • The texture starts to get a little funky if you keep these past 3 days but technically they are save to eat for up to 5 days.
How-to-Use
Athletes: Crush those grahams like you mean it over top of these! As written, you may need more carbs added to this breakfast to meet your total carb and energy needs. 
Healthy Eating: These overnight oats should be just about perfect for most people to start their day. Add 1/2 sheet of graham crackers crumbled on top.
Kids: Make mini versions for the kiddos - or have them try yours before you commit to making their own.
