Update on refrigerator oatmeal

It's official! After trying most of the different flavors of Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal suggested on the website, this one is my fave...Pineapple Coconut! I made a few alterations: fat free Greek yogurt, instead of low fat; unsweetened almond milk with a 1/2-1 tsp of Torani's sugar free coconut syrup (like you use for Italian sodas) rather than the coconut milk; and agave rather than honey.
And for those of you who, like me, just can't make yourself eat regular oatmeal...give this a try. I actually look forward to getting up in the morning and eating my refrigerator oatmeal!
 
(The recipe can be found here: http://www.theyummylife.com/recipes/264)
 
Ingredients 
  • 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey, optional (or substitute any preferred sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pineapple (fresh, frozen, or drained canned)
Directions
In a half pint (1 cup) jar, add oats, coconut milk, yogurt, chia seeds,  and honey. Put lid on jar and shake until well combined. Remove lid, add pineapple and stir until mixed throughout. Return lid to jar and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days. Eat chilled.
