The Daily Balance

Especially overnight oats! I had never tried them before and after reading and seeing them appear on MANY blogs, I finally jumped at the chance of ordering them for breakfast one morning on our Chicago trip. I had never seen this item on the menu before, so I was excited to try it out without having to make it myself!

This dish was ordered at The Corner Bakery

Technically referred to as ‘swiss oatmeal,’ “the chilled European breakfast cereal is made with rolled oats, fresh green apples, bananas, currants, dried cranberries, low fat yogurt, and skim milk. Served with homemade Sweet Crisp.”

In short (mainly because I’m exhausted from a long day of jury duty),this was DELICIOUS! It was initially a bit odd to be eating oatmeal cold, but the flavors were so scrumptious and it really tasted like a thick, creamy yogurt with lots of deliciousness stirred in.

How many of you are overnight/Swiss oats fans?

Jury Duty lasted until 7pm tonight, so I am currently enjoying my favorite takeout and waiting for the Mister to come home so we can watch Biggest Loser.

   Those look yummy. I like the addition of currants.
   I’ve made overnight oats with yogurt and a few times with cottage cheese. I like them because they’re thicker and take longer to eat

   I LOVE that dish from Corner Bakery! I haven’t had it in a while, actually… And it is what inspires my own overnight oats; I have them often. Yummy!
