Weight Watchers Overnight Oats (Berry Recipe, Low Points)

Ingredients

See recipe card for exact amounts and step-by-step instructions. 

Ingredient Notes

• Oats: I like quick oats to make overnight oats. The recipe on the Weight Watchers website calls for old-fashioned rolled oats. Feel free to use what you have on-hand. Steel-cut oats will not work in this recipe since the texture is very different than rolled oats. 
• Milk: To keep this low calorie we use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Any milk works great, so feel free to use your milk of choice!
• Yogurt: Look for low sugar Greek yogurt to keep this low points. Too Good has 2g of sugar and Dannon Light & Fit has 7g of sugar.
• Fresh Fruit: Use your favorite. We typically use blueberries and strawberries, but blackberries and raspberries are also great choices. Freshly grated lemon zest is a nice addition to these overnight oats, about ½-1 teaspoon per serving. 
• Nuts: We use sliced almonds but any nut would work. Nuts have a slightly different Weight Watchers point value per serving. Since this is a small amount of nuts it shouldn’t change the point value significantly. 
• Cinnamon: Not only does cinnamon give the oats great flavor, it’s also good for you. Check out this article at Healthline explaining the 10 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Cinnamon.

How to Make Weight Watchers Overnight Oats

1. Wash and dry the berries. Chop the strawberries.
2. Divide all of the ingredients between two jars or containers. Stir to combine. 
3. Refrigerate overnight.
4. Top with almonds and more berries before serving.

Tips

• I use a wide mouth medium jar (16 oz). This makes it easy to mix, and add extra fresh fruit on top right before serving.
• Add the almonds right before serving so they stay nice and crunchy. 
• If the oats are too thick, add a splash of milk and stir before serving.
• This recipe is for 2 servings. Multiply the ingredient amounts to make the number of servings desired. 

How Long Do Weight Watchers Overnight Oats Last?

If stored in a mason jar these overnight oats will last 3-5 days. If the cut fruit becomes to mushy then add it right before serving.

Additions and Substitutions

• Cow’s milk or any unsweetened alternative milk can be used. Coconut milk, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, or cashew milk are all a great choice. 
• Use your favorite berries and cut any large berries into bite-sized pieces. 
• Any flavor yogurt works. I usually use some type of berry like strawberry, blueberry or mixed berry. Sometimes we use coconut or vanilla.
• If you prefer a little more sweetness add a bit of maple syrup or honey. Maybe a teaspoon or two. 
• Add about a tablespoon of chia seeds to each serving for extra protein and fiber. This will add more calories. Check out the nutrition facts of 1 tablespoon of chia seeds at nutritionix.com.
