I was able to find a few Oats threads that were quite interesting:
The recipe that I follow is simple (1 serving):
I mix everything together in a bowl and leave it in the fridge overnight. It's ready to eat the next morning.
I tried Steel-cut oats but since they are not instant, the texture wasn't to my liking the next day (I like them mushy and it didn't taste cooked or ready I should say).
I also tried different nuts but the almonds are the best combo to bring some crunch back to the mushy texture (but not too much). Hemp seeds bring omega 3 so I think that's good for me, it doesn't do much in terms of texture.
I looked around and the basic overnight oat recipe seems to always be a 1:1 ratio of oats vs liquid. In my case, I have a bit more since 40 grams of oats is around 1/3 of a cup instead of 1/2 cup. I won't start on how the oat company says(on the bag) that 40 grams of oats equal 1/2 cup, that's a different story.
I gave the measurements in grams since I use a scale to prepare it after dinner. I do that in order to control my calorie intake. So far, I've been losing a decent amount of weight slowly and I believe that oats are helping a lot since the above recipe has a decent amount of calories (but not too much) and I feel full until lunchtime.

The recipe that I follow is simple (1 serving):
- 40 grams of quick oats
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened vanilla cashew milk (it's more tasty than water and I seem to have issues processing milk). I measure 120 grams on the scale using the "water ratio" which is 1 gram = 1 ml.
- 10 grams of slivered almonds
- 10 grams of hemp seeds
- 100 grams of plain Greek yogurt (I use lactose-free and 0%)
- 150 grams of frozen blueberries
I mix everything together in a bowl and leave it in the fridge overnight. It's ready to eat the next morning.
