Overnight Oats are one of my FAVORITE healthy breakfasts and Desserts! But, every once I need a little extra protein.. or I have a Gluten Free Friend who wants to try out an oatmeal recipe without the oatmeal! This is the PERFECT substitute! This has been my go 2 meal #6 for the last few weeks! Low Carb, Low calorie, and AMAZING!!!!!!
Below is a very basic recipe for overnight quinoa, jazz it up with whatever add in's you want. You can basically use ANY overnight oats recipe you want, simply substitute quinoa flakes for the oatmeal!!!!
Overnight quinoa
Ingredients
1/3 cup quinoa flakes (you can get these in the health food section at Fred Meyer by the cereal, or most other grocery stores that have a health food section!)
½ cup almond or coconut milk
1 tablespoon of... all/your choice/ or none of the following:
Chia seeds
Coconut/Almond/Greek yogurt (or whatever other yogurt you like)
Nut Butter or PB2
Cinnamon
stevia
berries
banana
They sky's the limit!!!!!!
Steps
In a glass jar or airtight container, combine everything and stir well, before refrigerating overnight.
Serve chilled and topped with any more of the above ingredients. I like to add a touch more coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of nuts for extra crunch.
*entire recipe is 1 serving

If you're on an em meal plan this is perfect for meal #1 or #2 Or if you're DYING for something sweet before bed for meal #6!
Pay attention to those add-in's though. If you add nuts or nut butter it counts as a healthy fat, and fruit is fruit! :)
Tip: If you just want it to be a protein and veggie bedtime snack make your add in pumpkin! :)
