Chia seed overnight oatmeal

Chia Seed Overnight Oatmeal is a simple, nutritious, and delicious breakfast option that can be prepared the night before. This recipe combines the creamy texture of Greek yogurt, the health benefits of chia seeds, and the wholesome goodness of oats. It's perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick and filling meal to start your day.

Ingredients:

1 cup almond milk
240g
1 cup oats
80g
1 cup greek yogurt
170g
1 oz chia seeds
27g

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, add 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1 oz of chia seeds.
2. Add Liquid:
Pour in 1 cup of almond milk.
3. Mix Well:
Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. Ensure that the oats, yogurt, and chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Cover and Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, or seal the mason jar tightly. Place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
5. Stir and Serve:
The next morning (or after at least 4 hours), take the oatmeal out of the refrigerator. Stir the mixture to ensure everything is well combined.
6. Optional Toppings:
Add your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, honey, or an extra dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
7. Enjoy:
Your delicious and healthy chia seed overnight oatmeal is now ready to enjoy! Serve it cold directly from the refrigerator or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer it a bit warmer.

Tips:

- Use a mason jar or airtight container for easy storage and portability.

- Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and can absorb the liquid properly.

- Allow the mixture to sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator for the best texture.

- Customize your oatmeal with toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, nut butter, or shredded coconut.

- If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey when mixing the ingredients.

With just a few minutes of preparation the night before, you can wake up to a nutritious and satisfying breakfast. Chia Seed Overnight Oatmeal is versatile, so feel free to add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey to make it your own. Enjoy the convenience and health benefits of this easy-to-make meal.
