Do you remember the famous quote eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper? However due to craziness in the morning schedule, everything happens opposite. So I decide to change that habit, and find a new way to make my breakfast filling and delicious, that is either with whole smoothie, sourdough bread or with overnight oatmeal.  Peanut butter chia overnight oatmeal is really wholesome you never feel hungry until lunch time.

I got introduced to oatmeal after coming USA by one of my friend. She made oatmeal for me in the morning that was instant oats. Then my hubby introduced me to old fashioned rolled Quaker® Oats as breakfast, as oats helps him to maintain his blood sugar. Now we are including wheat bran along with the oatmeal to make more fiber rich one. Oatmeal contains more complex carbohydrates and water soluble fiber that helps in slow digestion and stabilizes blood-glucose levels also reducing cholesterol levels. Oats are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium.  There is a National promotion of “Bring Your Best Bowl “of Quaker® Oats on select Quaker® Oats Instant Oat SKUs (Original and Maple Brown Sugar) and Quaker® Oats Standard Oatmeal Canisters (Old Fashioned and Quick One Minute) is going on now, if you create a wholesome recipe within 2-5 ingredients, in a bowl you will get a chance to win  some exciting prizes. I will give the details at the end of this post.

Overnight oats are best option, if you are busy mom like me with two little kids or working women who are always in a rush to get out of the door or you’re someone who prefers to ease into the day without spending too much time in the kitchen. One good thing about overnight oatmeal is that mixing everything the night before you go to bed and enjoy it in the morning. Overnight oats are super-easy to make, portable, inexpensive and a delicious way to get your day off on the right foot. Remember overnight oatmeal is like creamy blank canvas, which is open to customize according your taste buds and choice which leads to tasty concoctions.

For making this delicious overnight oat meal first get star ingredient rolled Quaker® Oats (you can get it from local Kroger store).

This is my best bowl of oatmeal; to a Mason jar or bowl add rolled Quaker® Oats along with chia seeds, peanut butter and almond milk (make sure to add 2:1 ratio fluid and oatmeal since using chia seeds, otherwise 1:1 ratio is enough) with touch of maple syrup and keep it in refrigerator and forget about it. Next morning take out from refrigerator and add your favorite topping, I added strawberries, blueberries, banana and toasted hemp seeds, this part is wide open you can you use whatever available in hand.  It is just delicious with all fruits and seeds and nuts with oatmeal.  Give it try you will love it.
