Kelly, LowSoRecipes.comThis low sodium Overnight Oats recipe is a healthy hearty breakfast, made with whole grain oats, fruit, and no salt. A delicious and healthy breakfast you can prep the night before, and don’t have to cook in the morning.
This easy salt free overnight oatmeal recipes takes about 5 minutes to prep the night before. A fantastic breakfast to bring to work or school. Prep and enjoy on the go.
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!

- Milk of choice –Â 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 – give a delicious crunch!
- Apples
- Banana
- Dried Cranberries: These delicious dried cranberries are naturally sweetened. They add a fantastic tang to this recipe.
- Walnuts: because YUM. I stocked up a few bags of these Amazon-brand walnuts which are super cheap and a great value for the quality.
- Brown Sugar: IÂ like to use a dark brown sugar in this recipe because I find it has a really nice flavor.
- Orange Juice
