OVERNIGHT OATS WITH CHIA

This simple but nourishing breakfast or snack recipe is a full-proof way to make your overnight oats. This recipe can be prepped ahead of time which is perfect for those postpartum days where you’re rushing or want to change up your usual breakfast.

This is recipe is macronutrient (protein, carbs and fat) rich and perfectly balanced to keep you feeling full and nourished.

Unless I’m making a recipe that relies on specific measurements and ingredients to work, I often experiment and find what works for me. One thing about simple recipes like this is that you can adjust the ingredients and measurements as you go, allowing for your own personal taste and preferences.

Ingredients

1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/3 cup yoghurt of choice

Milk of choice, roughly 3 cups

1 tablespoon hemp seeds

1 serving collagen powder (you can also substitute with protein powder)

2 tablespoons sweetener (I use maple syrup or honey)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup of toppings (I used strawberries, blueberries and cacao nibs)

Instructions

Stir together all the ingredients in a bowl or Tupperware and store in the fridge overnight or for a few hours to soak.

Top with your toppings of choice

Note: This can thicken quite quickly so be sure to stir properly. I usually check the mixture and further stir about an hour into being in the fridge to see if I need to add in anymore milk.

Simple and easy — I hope you try it.
