A quick and easy breakfast idea that you can make the night before. This is my go to, as it saves time and is super delicious! I love it because it is filling and the best part is there’s no cooking! You can adjust the recipe to your taste and you can also make vegan overnight oats, here are the basic ingredients:

• Old fashioned rolled oats (I use gluten free oats)
• Yogurt or milk (almond or any plant-based milk)
• Chia seeds
• sweetener of choice

Benefits: Oats are very nutritious as they are a good source of carbs and fibre , they are a healthy breakfast choice for weight loss and they are full of antioxidants. Steel cut overnight oats also work really well; they are a tad bit creamier so if that’s your preference, give it a try!

Chia seeds are also high in fibre and antioxidants and they are great for your digestive health. They also boost your energy and metabolism, contributing to weight loss.

Plus toppings are a great way to sneak fruits into your diet!

My Favorites

Vanilla, blueberry and cinnamon oats:

• 1/2 cup of oats
• 1/2 cup of milk (I prefer unsweetened rice milk)
• 1 tsp of chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• 1/4 cup of blueberries
• Your choice of sweetener (I prefer to add raisins)

Directions: Just mix all the ingredients together in a bowl or a mason jar and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Chocolate and banana oats

• 1/2 cup of oats
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 tsp of chia seeds
• Your choice of sweetener
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• 1/2 tbsp of raw cocoa powder

Directions: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl or a mason jar and leave it in the fridge overnight. Top it with sliced bananas and enjoy!

You can literally garnish your overnight oats with anything you want; nuts, coconut flakes, berries or any fruit of choice. Have fun with it and create your own version! I hope you enjoyed this post, please leave a comment and like. Xoxo.
