This year I’m partnering with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze to share healthful recipes made with almond milk, like these easy, no-cook overnight oats that will help you serve up your best.

This summer our days have been jam-packed. No lazy days of summer here. She’s been a busy 12 year old with one camp or another almost every week this summer.

Golf camp. Soccer camp. And to continue carrying on my sport-loving legacy, she had her first volleyball camp too.

I am so glad she likes sports. Because like I was at her age, my girl is tall. And she’s surprisingly coordinated. She has ball games in her genes and maybe one day, ONE DAY, a scholarship just might be in her future. Oh, one can only wish upon a four leaf clover with fingers, toes and eyes crossed too. And if it doesn’t, I know there’s a whole lot more she’ll get from playing in sports besides financial aid.

I remember trying out for my 7th grade volleyball team. I didn’t know a set from a spike or a bump from a dig. But I loved it. I relished the challenge of improving at something I practiced at. I loved the competition and the thrill of the win. I even loved doing homework with my teammates on the bus rides to the away games. Gina and Jill, you got me through Algebra and I thank you.

One of the hardest parts of becoming a graduating high school senior was competing in our final State games and knowing I would soon be saying goodbye to the friendships I had developed during those trying teenage years. All thanks to being part of a team.

I can only hope that Smudge will learn the same discipline, respect and work ethic I did from competing in team sports. It’s an experience that sets you up for the rest of life’s challenges, ups, downs, wins and losses. Because life really is the ultimate game.

That’s why I was super excited to hear that Almond Breeze is helping fuel Team USA Volleyball athletes as the official almondmilk and sponsor of USA Volleyball. You can get in on the action by visiting ServeUpYourBest for a chance to win $5,000 for the ultimate beach day. 

Bump. Set. SCORE! Summer just keeps getting better and better.

Much to my Smudge’s chagrin, all this game playing has made sleeping in a rare commodity. She’s up and getting at it at just about the same time she was during the school year. My firm rule is she NEVER leaves the house without breakfast. Lucky for me, this girl is a good eater and she LOVES oatmeal.

We started making overnight oats during the school year and it’s made morning meal times especially easy. Usually we make 2-3 and even 4 at a time since they last just fine in the fridge. It makes it so that if she wants to sleep in that extra 10 minutes, I’m okay that she does because she can just grab a jar and eat them on the go.

Smudge makes these for herself now, playing around with flavors and spices. But her favorite way is this way, with berries, banana, Almond Breeze almondmilk and oats. Since we had cherries on hand we threw them in too, then layered it all in red, white and blue for a patriotic nod to USA Volleyball.

One thing to note, don’t skip on adding a pinch of salt to the mix. It adds just the right touch to flavor to the whole entire mix.

    Made this for breakfast today and everyone in our family loved the texture and taste. Used frozen raspberries and it turned out wonderfully. This is going to become a staple in our home and so easy.

    My husband has really been into the overnight oats. We use nothing but almond milk, due to his severe lactose intolerance. It’s simply the best for most things (ok–not ice cream, but most everything else). Did your survey, too! I’ll pass along this recipe to hubby. Thanks!

    I filled out the survey. And I think you have a typo in the recipe – it says raspberries, cherries, and cherries, I think you mean raspberries, cherries, and blueberries based on the photos? :) I wish my kids would eat overnight oats! I love them myself. BTW frozen cherries work great for times of year when you can’t get fresh ones.

    I did the survey. I’ve made overnight oats before (with milk, not almond milk, though) but these days I usually make steel-cut oats in my slow cooker and store them in the fridge. Not quite as quick – I have to add the berries etc in the morning – but quick and tasty.

    I completed the survey. I buy Almond Breeze regularly for my husband who is diabetic. But I also like to use it in baking, cooking, and overnight oats too!

    Hi! I just filled the survey out. Quick is right! My daughter hated sports. I tried and tried, 10 different ways, but they never worked. :-(
    She, thank goodness, has other strengths.

    Filled out the survey. I use almond milk, and other nut milks, but not this specific brand. Thanks for the great recipe! I might toss in a few sliced almonds, too!

    I filled out the survey. Volleyball is my favorite sport too! I’m not tall but I got a lot of power in my hands for those spikes!

    I love the Swiss almond oats at Corner Bakery so I will try this. I buy almond milk because my husband thinks he is lactose intolerant. I did fill out the survey. Thanks for the fun recipes.

    I took the survey and my refrigerator is NEVER without a carton of Almond Breeze and a pitcher of cold press coffee. Together they are fabulous and my favorite drink ever!

    Hi there! I enjoy your blog and look forward to the email with the link each week! I completed the survey. I also wanted to thank you for partnering with Almond Milk as I am lactose intolerant and it is not easy to find delicious recipes that do not require milk.

    Hi, hi filled out the survey. I started playing volleyball in 9th grade (my school was so small that the only winter girlss sport was cheerleading… so a friend and I joined the boys’ basketball team and a week later we had a volleyball team) and I still play nearly 30 years later.

    This recipe looks great! I am a runner and love breakfasts like this on the weekends after my longer runs!

    High school years were awesome, it was the beginning of many life-long friendships.
    Anyway, thanks for the overnight oats recipe! :D
