Overnight oats are the perfect, healthy make-ahead breakfast. These chocolate overnight oats are made by combining rolled oats with a banana, yogurt, chia seeds and non-dairy milk. By allowing the oats to sit refrigerated overnight they become soft, but never mushy! Overnight oats are the perfect option for hectic mornings as they are prepared ahead of time and can be eaten cold on-the-go. These overnight oats are made with pantry staples that you probably already have available. Best of all? You only need 5 minutes and 5 ingredients: oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, yogurt and milk. This recipe would be perfect as a breakfast on the go, a mid-morning snack or as post-workout fuel! The cinnamon and cocoa powder from the chocolate yogurt provide immune-boosting antioxidants. The high fiber oats and chia seeds support gut health and glycemic control. The cinnamon also helps support stable blood sugars, making this recipe the perfect choice for diabetics. Lastly, this high fiber plant-based option is ideal for those with high blood pressure and heart disease.
