One of my favourite things for breakfast is these Overnight Chia Oats. They are loaded with fibre, protein, healthy fat, omega 3’s, antioxidants and more, making them a perfect balanced breakfast. They also keep you feeling satiated for hours without leaving you feeling sluggish or extremely full!
They are also pretty convenient. Something I like to do is prep them over the weekend, and that way, I can grab them and go and have them readily available throughout the week (you can also make them the night before, as well). I find this really helps me during busy or lazy mornings!
Now, if you are one of those people who prefer their oats to be warm, no need to worry. All you need to do is heat them for about 1 minute, and then you can add your toppings (like nuts, nut butter, fresh fruit, etc.). I often do this since I don’t care much for my overnight chia oats to be cold.
