Overnight oats with berries and almonds is your new go-to breakfast for those busy mornings. It’s a nutritious, easy-to-make meal that you can prepare the night before, ensuring you start your day with a refreshing and wholesome boost.
Start by grabbing a medium-sized bowl—you want something with enough room for stirring. Combine the oats, almond milk, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and that little pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly so the chia seeds don’t clump together and the honey is well distributed.
Once mixed, cover the bowl with a lid or some plastic wrap. Pop it in the fridge and let it sit overnight. This is when the magic happens: the oats soften and absorb all those wonderful flavors.
The next morning, pull the bowl out and give the oats a good stir. If you find they’re a bit too thick for your liking, just add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Finally, top your oats with the mixed berries and sliced almonds. This is the fun part—make it look pretty! Now it’s ready to eat. Enjoy it cold and feel that refreshing start to your day.
Pair your overnight oats with a side of Greek yogurt for an extra creamy texture and additional protein. If you’re feeling indulgent, drizzle a bit more honey on top just before serving.
Old-fashioned oats are the base, providing fiber and a chewy texture. Almond milk adds a nutty flavor while keeping it dairy-free. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and pack in omega-3s. Honey brings natural sweetness, and the vanilla extract enhances all the flavors. The mixed berries offer a burst of freshness and antioxidants, while sliced almonds add a satisfying crunch. A pinch of salt brings out the flavors.
