I love making overnight oats to save me precious time in the morning, and to make sure I have something healthy to have on my way out the door! It’s great to remake in a jar and then top with berries, granola or nuts and a splash of almond milk.
What are Overnight Oats? They are rolled or old fashioned oats soaked overnight that absorb the liquid you put them in, whether it’s nut milk (my favorite) or juice (a lower fat option).
The chia seeds increase the protein and nutrition and help the mixture thicken up. Chia seeds are very grounding and help make any dish more substantial.
This recipe doesn’t require cooking which makes it a great option to make ahead and grab on your way out the door. The fiber will fill you up and keep you going for hours! Also, a great choice for hot days when you want a filling breakfast without turning on the stove 🙂
