"Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:
1. In a mason jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oats, milk, chia seeds, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract (if using).
2. Stir well to ensure everything is fully combined.
3. Add the fresh berries on top, then seal the jar or container.
4. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
5. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. The oats and chia seeds should have absorbed the milk, creating a thick, creamy pudding-like consistency.
6. If the oats are too thick for your liking, you can add a splash of milk before serving.
7. Enjoy the overnight oats cold, or heat them up in the microwave if you prefer.
Cooking Time: No cooking is involved, but the oats need to soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Nutrition Information:
Overnight oats with chia seeds and berries are a healthy, balanced meal. They're high in fiber, which aids digestion, and protein, which keeps you feeling full. The chia seeds add a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health. Berries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins. Using unsweetened almond milk keeps the sugar content low, but if you prefer a sweeter breakfast, you can add honey or maple syrup. One serving of this recipe, without added sweetener, has approximately 250 calories."
