Meal Prep Recipe
This and mango chia pudding is our favorite meal prep practice and we always make sure to have full jars in the fridge. This super easy recipe takes only minutes to prepare and saves SO MUCH TIME. My boys even take turns making a batch for the family.
Ingredients
Rolled Oats - Make sure to use rolled or old-fashioned oats in this recipe for the right consistency and texture. Quick oats or steel-cut oats will not work in this recipe. Chia Seeds - When soaked in liquid, chia seeds expand and help thicken the oats, providing a pudding-like texture. Hemp Hearts - With a mildly nutty flavor they add a nice texture and nutrition boost to overnight oats. Almond Milk - You can use milk of choice for this recipe. I like the dairy-free and vegan unsweetened almond milk.
Why this recipe works
I’ve given you our basic recipe and the rest is about what YOU like. Overnight Oats are so versatile they can accommodate most diets. Unsweetened plain almond milk, used in this recipe, is low-calorie, full of protein, and pretty flavor-neutral. But the type of milk is up to you! Cashew, coconut, hemp, whole, low-fat, skim, or oat milk……they all work too! 2. To add yogurt or not? Many recipes for overnight oats call for equal parts oats, milk, and yogurt. We make ours without yogurt but feel free to substitute half of the milk with Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and added protein! You can also add a dollop of yogurt on top in the morning with your other toppings. 3. It’s all about the Toppings! We love our oats topped with colorful fresh berries and unsweetened coconut. But there are SO MANY possibilities. You can change it up every day and not get tired of this awesome breakfast! Kids love picking their toppings and something made just for them feels special.
How to Make Overnight Oats
Add all oats, chia seeds, and hemp hearts to the glass jars. Add milk and close the jars. Shake them so everything is mixed well. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve add peanut butter. Add your favorite fruit and nut toppings.
Bonus: We LOVE that these reusable glass jars cut down on plastic waste.
