Overnight oats make breakfast easy on hectic mornings! We are choosing a higher protein Greek yogurt to pair with old fashioned oats.

Breakfast can be a challenge for people with diabetes and I am always on the lookout for easy, healthy lower carb recipes to make life easier. Adding higher protein yogurt to your oats can help you stay full longer and may also help stabilize glucose levels. Check out our 10 Best Diabetes Breakfast Ideas post for even more breakfast meal ideas!

There are several types of oatmeal to choose from in the market. Instant, quick, old fashioned and steel cut oats. Instant and quick oats are more processed than old fashioned and steel cut oats. I have used both quick and old fashioned oats with good results. Feel free to experiment though, as you may prefer a chewier texture.
