What's So Great About These Overnight Oats?

Pineapple Coconut Oats Meal Prep

We wanted this breakfast meal prep idea to be a bit of a break from the norm. The usual suspects make their appearance of course, because who doesn’t love a splash of omega-rich chia seeds? Each serving of these overnight oats is a quick trip to the tropics with a blast of sweet and tangy pineapple and delicious coconut shavings.

And in case you need a little extra nutritional boost, our recipe makes room for a scoop of your favorite protein or collagen powder. Each serving of oats contains 13 grams of protein on its own though, so any powder or nut butter you add is making that number that much more plump!

Pineapple Coconut Overnight Oats Meal Prep Ingredients

  •  1 cup GF rolled oats
  • 4 teaspoon white chia seeds
  • ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes

Nutrition of Oats

Speaking of a serving of oats, we’ve got some more to share with you about the nutrition of oats. One serving of these overnight oats will also provide you with 191% of your daily value of manganese (a trace mineral that's important for many bodily functions), along with magnesium, antioxidants, B vitamins, iron, and zinc. And most importantly? Oats are loaded with a powerful soluble fiber called beta-glucan. Once digested, this fiber helps you to stay fuller longer, supports healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and feeds good gut bacteria.

How to Make Pineapple Coconut Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are mercifully easy to pull off. Because that's what you need to the night before, right? Just a little kitchen puttering and then pop it in the fridge. Combine the ALL of the ingredients (except the optional granola) in a bowl and then divide between two glass jars with an airtight lid. Stick them in the fridge for a few hours and up to overnight is optimal.

How to Store and Serve Overnight Oats

Since the storing is part of the prepping, there's not much to do here. Eat it right out of the jar! Add some granola on top! Top with more shredded coconut and some granola, for some crunchy contrast. We don't recommend freezing this, though! Just a heads up! Keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

How to Customize Overnight Oats

  • Mango would be amazing with coconut, either in addition the pineapple or instead of it! Plus, it's still tropical that way!
  • You can use frozen or fresh fruit in this recipe; it's fine either way.
  • Feel free to add things like hemp seeds (a tablespoon or two), or maybe even flax seeds, for extra nutrients and protein (in the case of hemp, naturally).
  • Skip the protein powder or go chocolate instead of vanilla for a totally different taste.
  • Swap the maple syrup for honey or agave nectar.
  • Use a different kind of plant-based milk.
