Ready-to-make overnight oat mixes have simplified breakfast by offering nutritious and delicious options to jumpstart your day. One of our Tasting Table writers took on the task of sampling two dozen Oats Overnight flavors to help make purchasing decisions easier when faced with options. She was so impressed with the taste of Mocha Dream that the product landed squarely at the top of the list. Offering a noticeable coffee flavor, 100 milligrams of caffeine, and a delicious chocolate expression, these oats make the first meal of the day something to look forward to.

Oats Overnight Mocha Dream is gluten free and sweetened with maple sugar, date powder, and cacao nibs. Not only are you getting 100% whole grain oats in the package, but the tasty treat is also enhanced with chia and flax seeds, Himalayan pink salt, and protein. Packing 20 grams of protein and at least 6 grams of fiber, this satiating serving can hold you over until your next break.

Our writer certainly isn't the only reviewer obsessed with the recipe. A customer on Amazon said, "It's like a fresh iced coffee in the morning full of goodness that keeps you feeling sooo full and satisfied. I never used to be a fan of breakfast and now I can't wait for it to be the morning!"

Oats Overnight knows it has made breakfast easy. The product requires little to put together. Simply mix a packet with milk or a milk substitute, and place it in the fridge. You don't even need a spoon to enjoy Mocha Dream. "My new go to starter for the day," wrote a shopper on Amazon. "The mocha pieces are great and it's basically like drinking a chocolate shake. The pop of caffeine is amazing."

Though some have noted the price of the product (it is more expensive than making your own overnight oats), the convenience of the dish has attracted committed buyers. "A teeny bit pricey but not easy to replicate so worth it," wrote another Mocha Dream lover on Amazon. 

Oats Overnight recommends letting ingredients rest awhile for a creamier texture, ideally four or five hours. For those who like more chew, the oats can be eaten immediately after milk has been stirred into the package. Mocha Dream can also be heated to enjoy warm. Some customers prepare Mocha Dream with chocolate almond milk for added richness. While the product can be filling as is, Mocha Dream can be topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or fresh fruit for added volume or texture. Finish servings with a quick dusting of cinnamon, a drizzle of your favorite sweetener — maple syrup, chocolate, or hazelnut — and a handful of toasted nuts, and you'll have a dish that gives dessert some serious competition.
