Health Benefits of the Main Ingredients

• Overnight Oats: Oats are an incredible whole grain full of soluble fiber, which helps keep you feeling full longer. They also help stabilize blood sugar levels and support heart health. Plus, oats are an easy and versatile breakfast base, making them a perfect choice for all kinds of toppings, like chia seeds and berries.

• Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. They promote gut health, help reduce inflammation, and give your skin that lovely glow we all want. They also help keep you full longer and are great for balancing blood sugar, making this breakfast the perfect way to start your day.

• Berries: Berries (like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. They’re fantastic for supporting your immune system and digestive health, plus they’re low in sugar, so you get a sweet kick without spiking your blood sugar.

Recipe and Instructions

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond milk, oat milk, etc.)

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)

Instructions:

1. In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (if using), and maple syrup or honey (if using). Stir everything together to make sure the oats and chia seeds are fully soaked.

2. Cover the jar and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours) so the oats and chia seeds can soak up the liquid and soften.

3. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more milk or water to reach your desired texture.

4. Top with your choice of fresh or frozen berries. You can even add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few nuts/seeds for extra crunch if you like!

5. Enjoy immediately or take it with you for a healthy, on-the-go breakfast.
