Overnight oats with a twist: chia seeds! Sometimes I will mix oats and chia together (cheaper than straight chia alone) but I splurged on this recipe to experience the full chia seed effect. To boost the protein content I added protein powder, but this is totally optional as the chia & almond milk provide about 8 grams of protein already. PS. Getting creative with toppings is the most fun part for me!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup frozen blackberries and blueberries
How to:
- Whisk almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Place in fridge overnight.
- In the morning remove from fridge.
- Puree frozen fruit in food processor until creamy (add a splash of almond milk).
- Layer fruit with chia seed mixture and top with whatever you want (here I have goji berries and coconut).

Thank you! They are very easy and a lifesaver for hectic mornings where breakfast doesn’t seem to happen. 🙂
Goodness, this looks delicious! I love the pretty layers you have here. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! For some reason layering instead of mixing all together is just much more exciting to eat!
