Chocolate & Chia Seed Overnight Oats
I love overnight oats, they are the perfect grab and go breakfast! The oats are a great source of slow-releasing carbohydrates and the chia seeds are a great source of fibre to help stop any mid-morning hunger pangs.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
- 40 g Porridge Oats
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (or Cacao)
- 1 tsp Matcha or Maca Powder (optional) For a superfood boost!
- 150 ml Milk of choice
Optional Toppings
- Frozen Mixed Berries
- Banana, mashed, with a drizzle of honey
- Yogurt and crushed nuts of choice
Add the porridge oats, chia seeds, cocoa and optional powdered ingredients into a mason jar or similar container. Stir well to combine.
Add the milk and stir well.
After a few minutes stirs again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
Chill in the fridge overnight.
Note: if using frozen mixed berries, add these to the overnight oats BEFORE placing in the fridge.
In the morning, top with any additional toppings and enjoy.
