    New favorite breakfast

    This delicious and colorful Fruit Salad Overnight Oats recipe may be my new favorite breakfast! First of all, the 'plant-food nerd' in me goes pretty ga-ga over the layers of colorful fruit! Then, when you combine the fresh fruit with the slightly sweet & but lemony-orange and creamy plant-based oat layer, this is just a breakfast delight! 😁

    Have you ever enjoyed a meal that seemed like it was just what your body needed at the time? This has happened to me more and more since I began eating whole food plant-based (WFPB). I find myself thinking back on a particular healthy meal for several hours, remembering how great it tasted and how good I've felt after enjoying it. This is one of those meals for me. It's one I'll enjoy again and again.

    This recipe was inspired by the first overnight oats recipe I ever tried, Lemon Poppy Seed Overnight Oats by Lexi's Clean Kitchen. It made me an overnight oats convert & is still another favorite of mine!

    Color and flavor

    I just love all of the color and flavor in this Fruit Salad Overnight Oats recipe! Don't let the number of ingredients scare you away. It's actually a really simple recipe...& so worth the little bit of prep!

    Be sure you don't leave out the lemon and clementine zest, here. It adds a ton of lemony-orange flavor to the oats!

    Ingredients:

    • old fashioned rolled oats
    • soy milk (or other plant milk)
    • vanilla extract
    • maple syrup (or date paste)
    • poppy seeds
    • clementine zest
    • lemon zest
    • lemon juice
    • blueberries
    • red grapes
    • clementine wedges
    oats, soy milk, vanilla, maple syrup, poppy seeds, clementine zest, lemon zest, and lemon juice stirred with a spoon in the bottom of a clear 16 oz canning jar.

    Simple prep

    The simple prep is so worth it! It's wonderful to have this breakfast at the ready the next morning, especially when you have a busy day ahead! You'll begin by adding nearly all of the ingredients to the jar (save the top three layers of fruit for the next step). Then, stir the oat mixture until well combined.

    Next, top the stirred oat mixture with the layers of blueberries, red grapes, and clementine wedges.

    After layering the fruit, take a moment to view your artful masterpiece before sealing the jar and placing it in the refrigerator. Leave the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before enjoying. This will allow the oats to absorb some of the flavorful liquid and soften up just right.

    You can pour the Fruit Salad Overnight Oats into a bowl if you would like but I prefer to enjoy these overnight oats cold, straight out of the jar. I like to use my spoon to scoop a little of the creamy & flavorful oats up from the bottom while enjoying the fruit. So delish! 😋

    FAQ

    How far ahead can I prep the overnight oats?

    Overnight oats should keep well in the refrigerator for 4 or 5 days. So this Fruit Salad Overnight Oats recipe is a great option for batch prepping!

    Do you serve overnight oats cold or hot?

    I generally enjoy eating overnight oats cold, straight out of the fridge. However, some people prefer to heat their overnight oats before serving. This particular Fruit Salad Overnight Oats recipe is best served cold.

    Whole Food Plant-Based

    A Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) dietary lifestyle includes a wide variety of "whole" (minimally processed) plant-foods (i.e. foods as close to their natural state after growing from the ground, without extensive processing in a factory). Plant foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. These plant foods are the healthiest foods on the planet! They're full of fiber and other nutrients while most are also low in calories. So, there's no restrictive calorie counting needed. You can truly "eat the rainbow"! Learn more...
