Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds
This breakfast tastes good enough to be a dessert.. and it’s so creamy that you would never guess that it’s actually good for you!! Oats are a fantastic source of soluble fibre which helps lower cholesterol and they also have a low glycaemic index, which means that you will be left feeling fuller for longer :).
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (40g) Porridge Oats
- 1/2 cup (125ml) Yoghurt
- 2/3 cup (160ml) Milk
- 1 tbsp of Chia Seeds*
- Pinch of Cinnamon (optional)**
Instructions
- The night before, mix your oats in a bowl with the yoghurt, milk, chia seeds and cinnamon (optional)
- Cover and pop in the fridge
- The next day top with your chosen toppings and enjoy the creaminess!
Notes
*chia seeds are a fantastic source of protein, healthy fats including omega3 (for heart health), calcium and fibre, and they expand to create a deliciously creamy texture.. this also helps you to feel fuller for longer!
**I have also tried mixing a tbsp of PB2 into my over-night oats (before chilling) which tasted amazing!
