The warm summer months obviously don’t lend themselves too well to hot breakfasts like oatmeal, which is where overnight oats are a lifesaver.
Overnight oats take no time at all, can be eaten straight out of the fridge, and still give you all the heart-healthy, blood-sugar balancing, cravings-busting benefits of oatmeal, without the wintery vibes.
To make these overnight oats even more summery, I added shredded coconut and coconut yogurt, and of course, BERRIES!! Any berries will do for this recipe, but I like raspberries for this particular iteration. Check out my recent article on why berries are summer’s perfect superfood!
Servings |
|
- 1/2 cup organic old fashioned rolled oats
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk*
- 1/3 cup coconut yogurt*
- 1 tbsp chia seeds,
- 1/2 tsp organic vanilla extract
- 2 tsp organic maple syrup
- 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup organic raspberries
Ingredients
|
|
- Whisk together all ingredients (aside from the raspberries) in a Bell jar.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, top with raspberries and some extra shredded coconut. Enjoy!
* Coconut milk yields a thicker oatmeal, whereas using almond milk will make it come out a little runnier.
* I used coconut yogurt to make the recipe vegan, but feel free to use organic greek yogurt if you prefer it!
