Oats are a heart-healthy pantry staple we enjoy every week – especially when we make low sodium overnight oatmeal recipe. The night before, I mix old fashioned oats, chopped fruit, yogurt, and nuts together and let them sit overnight in the fridge.
The result? Perfect oatmeal in the morning that can be enjoyed cool, right out of the fridge. I like to divide the oatmeal into individual jars the night before, so my husband or I can grab one before work! They are great to bring to work or school too, a tasty meal on the go.
Instant oatmeal packets can contain a high amount of sodium from added salt and preservatives – so we like to make these overnight oats as a healthy alternative!

What’s In This Low Sodium Overnight Oatmeal?
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
- Old Fashioned Oats: I used old fashioned oats for this recipe. I found old fashioned oats work much better than quick oats, as they hold up really well overnight.
- Yogurt – I like Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and texture.
- Milk of choice – use any milk you normally drink, I like using a homemade almond milk which contains 0mg of sodium per 8 ounce serving.
- Unsalted Pumpkin Seeds – also called pepitas, give a delicious crunch!
- Apples
- Banana
- Dried Cranberries: These delicious dried cranberries are naturally sweetened. They add a fantastic tang to this recipe.
- Walnuts
- Brown Sugar: I like to use a dark brown sugar in this recipe because I find it has a really nice flavor.
- Orange Juice
