I’ve been looking for a way to make my daily oatmeal habit more conducive to the warm summer weather, and after stumbling upon this recipe from The Oatmeal Artist, I think I’ve found the perfect solution! Usually my oatmeal recipes are single serving. However, 1 serving of this recipe would leave me with half of a grapefruit and half of a yogurt carton, so it’s easiest just to make 2 servings. If you don’t have anyone else to cook for, you can save the other bowl of oatmeal for the next morning. It will keep a few days in the fridge.
Overnight Grapefruit Coconut Oatmeal for Two (inspired by the Oatmeal Artist)
Ingredients
- 1 cup (divided)
Old fashioned rolled oats - 1 individual container (divided)
Plain Coconut Yogurt (vanilla is also good!) - 4 teaspoons (divided)
Chia seeds - 1 whole
Grapefruit (segmented) - 1 cup (divided)
Water
Cooking Directions
- Evenly divide ingredients between two cereal bowls. Each bowl gets 1/2 cup oats, 2 tsp chia seeds, half of a grapefruit (segmented and in chunks), 1/2 cup of water, and half of the yogurt cup.
- Mix well, cover, and place in fridge overnight (at least 7 hours).
- Give it a good stir before serving. Enjoy!
Most overnight oats recipes are made in Mason jars. I don’t have Mason jars. But I do have cute Anthropologie Latte bowls! So that’s what I use. As long as you can cover it in the fridge and give it a good stir before serving, bowls work just fine. Plus, digging my spoon into the bottom of a tall Mason jar does not seem appealing. Latte bowls for the win!

I do wish this recipe had more protein, but believe me when I tell you that the healthy dose of fat and fiber will keep you full for HOURS. And did I mention that this recipe is vegan?
