Well, here’s a way to save some time. You can do the prep work the night before, and you’ll be able to wake up to delicious grapefruit oatmeal in the morning without dirtying a knife!
Did I merely use the same picture for this post as I did for the original stovetop recipe? Mmhmm, yes, I did. Get over it. Although Daylight Saving Time has allowed me to photograph AFTER work, I still can’t take pictures in the morning. (I wake up at 5:freaking30, remember??) Thus, overnight recipes remain unphotographed. Deal. With. It.
Plus, it’s the exact same recipe–just prepared differently.
Grapefruit Overnight Oatmeal
What you'll need:
- 1/2 a grapefruit
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (I recommend coconut)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut yogurt, or coconut-flavored almond yogurt (optional)
- pinch of ground ginger
- pinch of salt
How to make it:
- Prep grapefruit and spoon segments into a mason jar.
- Combine all remaining ingredients in the jar.
- Cover with lid and shake, shake, shake until combined.
- Store in the refrigerator overnight (or for several hours). Eat cold or warm up in the microwave! It's best warmed up with more shredded coconut on top...and a drizzle of honey!
