I love oatmeal, and I love coconut (although, to be fair, it took time to love coconut…I didn’t like it as a kid, which is probably because my mom hated it and never let me eat it!) This 21 Day Fix Coconut Overnight Oats recipe from Chellie over at Art From My Table is the perfect combination of coconut, oatmeal, and chia seeds.
Quick side note about all of my 21 Day Fix recipes: these recipes are suitable for everyone, 21 Day Fixer or not! The 21 Day Fix program is based on portion control and whole foods…so when you make a “21 Day Fix” recipe, you’re really just making something good for you.
The same goes for Weight Watchers – you can enjoy these overnight oats on WW as well!
Breakfast is so important. I know I don’t even need to say it, but really, it is. It’s also the easiest meal of the day to miss (at least, in my experience it is!). Mornings are busy and we are usually in a big rush to get the day started and to get out of the house.
This shouldn’t be an excuse not to eat, though. A little bit of meal prep can go a long way, and that’s especially the case when breakfast is involved. These coconut overnight oats are great for meal prep. They’re simple to prepare and can hang out in the fridge all week long without getting yucky!
Speaking of meal prep, here are some great meal prep containers to get you started!

How do I track this recipe?
Here are the container counts: 1 yellow, 1/3 red, 1 orange, 1 blue (if you count coconut milk as a blue! This is a small amount – Autumn says that 4 ounces or less every now and then is okay and doesn’t need to be counted, if you don’t want to…but anything more than that, or if you’re drinking it consistently, should be a blue. So I’ll leave it up to you to decide!).
