Description
A simple overnight oats recipe inspired by Valerie Bertinelli’s food philosophy — high in fiber, naturally appetite-suppressing, and genuinely satisfying. Eat it as your first meal of the day for best results.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, drizzle of raw honey, or almond butter
Instructions
- Add oats, almond milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt to a mason jar or container with a lid
- Stir well to combine all ingredients
- Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight
- In the morning, stir again and add your toppings of choice
- Eat cold directly from the jar, or warm slightly if preferred
Notes
For best results, eat within the first hour of waking. This sets your blood sugar and hunger hormones on a stable trajectory for the entire morning. Use old-fashioned rolled oats only — instant oats have a reduced beta-glucan structure and deliver weaker satiety. Prep 3–5 jars on Sunday for the full week.
