Overnight Chia Oats!
These Overnight Chia Oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast leading into the back to school and work season. This breakfast takes under 5 minutes to prepare the night before and leaves you with a creamy and delicious breakfast in the morning. It is super easy to take with you on the go by preparing it in a glass jar. You could also double or triple the recipe to so that you have breakfast made all week long.
These Overnight Chia Oats provide you with healthy carbohydrates for quick energy, healthy fats to help you feel full, and protein to sustain your energy all morning long. You could also top these oats with nuts or seeds for even more healthy fats and protein, or mix in a little bit of your favourite protein powder.
I served these oats with blueberries and a delicious almond butter drizzle, but the flavour combinations are endless. You could even try new toppings each day of the week!
