In our efforts to eat healthier, I have found that meals are easy, but desserts are sometimes lacking. It used to be easy to grab a carton of ice cream and have a quick snack. I was looking for a way to have a snack prepared ahead of time, but be both tasty and healthy at the same time.
Overnight Oats for Tomorrow’s Desserts
I think these overnight oats desserts fit that bill quite nicely! You can mix this up in the morning for dessert that evening, or mix it tonight for a dessert-type breakfast tomorrow morning. Or, mix it tonight for dessert tomorrow!
It does make a difference when you use quality yogurt. We eat as clean as we can, and this means not using food products with fillers, artificial flavors, and other such icky stuff.
My favorite is coconut. No, it’s the caramel. Or is it the coconut? There are chunks of coconut in it! But, the caramel is so smooth and creamy. Such a toss-up there. Both are TASTY!!!
To make these overnight oats, simply combine oatmeal, chia seeds, yogurt, and milk. Change up the flavors by using different flavors of yogurt.

I love lemon yogurt. I can’t wait to try theirs.
I learned that lemon is one of their most popular flavors.
oooh! Can’t wait to try cappuccino with your overnight oats recipe! Looks like a fab way to start the day!!
I learned that Liberte products are not made with any ingredients that contain gluten. All of their products are gluten free.
I learned that they have coconut yogurt flavor
I learned that the company started in 1936.
THAT ORIGINALLY THE LEMON YOGURT SOLD POORLY…..CAN’T IMAGINE WHY, LEMON IS MY FAVE.
I learned there are no secret ingredients. It’s all right there on the label.
I learned that Liberte expanded into the US in 1999. Something interesting that I did not know is the name is inspired from the Statue of Liberty.
I learned we actually have a store in town that sells Liberte! Woohoo! Thanks for the overnight oats idea!
I’ve been looking for overnight oats recipes! These look sooo good
I learned that there is a store close to me that carries Liberte. Very excited to try it. Especially the caramel.
There are 9 flavors, all made with whole milk and no additives.
