Overnight Rolled Oats ๐ฅ๐ซ
with Blueberries, Raspberries, and a Touch of Cocoa ๐๐ฏ
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon natural honey (or to taste)
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)
Total Calories: ~285 calories
Instructions:
Mix the base: In a mason jar or a small container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
Add the berries: Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries. You can leave some on top for extra aesthetic appeal or blend them in for a sweeter flavor.
Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours). The oats will absorb the liquid and soften to a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
Serve: In the morning, give it a quick stir. If you like a thicker texture, add a few ice cubes or a splash more milk. Enjoy right from the jar or transfer it to a bowl!
Tips:
You can swap out the berries for other fruits like strawberries or blackberries.
For an extra crunch, add some sliced almonds or walnuts on top before serving.
If you prefer sweeter oats, you can add a little more honey or stevia to taste.
This recipe is a delicious, guilt-free way to start your day while staying on track with your health goals! Enjoy! ๐
