I like to think of myself as a fairly adventurous eater.

I’ll try anything once.

I grew up on three different continents and was lucky enough to eat my way around all of them.

If you follow me onInstagram, you’ve seen plenty of variations of this.

The overnight oat recipes can be made ahead of time (perfect formeal prep!)

and are served cold.

Pumpkin Pecan Egg White Oatmeal

The warm oatmeal recipes take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to cook and are pretty much foolproof.

Some overnight oats are made with Greek yogurt, others with cottage cheese or coconut milk.

Liquid egg whites are best for this, since they’re already pasteurized and won’t scramble as quickly.

Oatmeal Cookie Overnight Oats

You stir together all of your overnight oat ingredients, then blend them into a puree before refrigerating.

I like topping it with chopped almonds for crunch, but you could use almond butter instead.

Here, they work alongside cottage cheese and pecans.

If you get sick of strawberries, try chopped cherries instead.

If that’s not for you, give this one a miss.

If you like coconut, though, these are a great way to switch things up.
