Hey guys! I have another breakfast recipe for you this week. This one is just so simple to prepare and tastes delicious. These Chia Almond Overnight Oats are made with a few simple ingredients, you don’t need to worry anymore. They are gluten free, dairy free and vegan (if you skip the yogurt).

The thing with breakfast – I can not call myself a “breakfast person”. I like my breakfast smoothie!

But I usually do my best to try different breakfast recipes, whenever I can. And I love easy, little time-consuming ones. Any overnight breakfast sounds good to me. I love the idea of preparing something at night and then having it ready to eat in the morning.

One of my new years resolutions has been to have a healthy breakfast every morning. And I have been sticking to it for now. Almond Breeze Almondmilk has helped me a lot with it. I use it for smoothies, pancakes, crepes, granola, cereal or oats. It is low calorie that regular dairy milk, gluten free and tastes amazing.

I have not had much success with overnight oats so far. I only tried making them once, but they did not turn as creamy and delicious as this time. I guess the use of almond milk brought some great flavors and the addition of chia seeds make this oatmeal super creamy.

All you need to do is combine old-fashioned oats, almond milk, yogurt and chia seeds in a jar. Stir to combine and let it sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning you can add some sweetener, vanilla extract or cinnamon, top with fruit of your choice, serve and enjoy!
