Overnight ChiaOat Smash

One of my favorite ways to start the day & embrace that hunger in the morning is with Overnight ChiaOats! Basically a fusion of oatmeal & chia seeds combined together for a filling & powerful way to start your day.
Did you know that chia seeds are packed with Essential Fatty Acids, Fiber, Calcium, & Protein? Just to name a few! They also absorb liquid, expand, & make a gel like binding which makes them a great addition to recipes & helps clean out the digestive tract.
Basic Overnight ChiaOat Smash
1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
2 TB Chia Seeds
1 Cup of Liquid -I like to use nut milk for creaminess!
Directions:
1) Combine oats, chia, & water in a bowl.
2) Heat in the Microwave for 2 minutes.
-You could also heat on a medium heat stove until thick.
4) Once heated, I cover & put into the fridge over night so that it's ready for me in the morning!
-You could also eat right away if you like it warm.
5) In the morning, I stir in cinnamon, liquid stevia drops, & a splash of vanilla extract.
I then smash it onto a plate & top with some fun toppings like fruit, melted coconut butter, & healthy chocolate sauce!
Yup, I said Chocolate for breakfast! It's one of my go-to recipes for a sweet chocolate fix.
-
2 TB Cocoa Powder
