Overnight Chia & Oatmeal

This breakfast is a perfect combination of essential fats found in chia seeds & coconut, antioxidants from the colourful berries, protein from the nuts & milk as well as blood sugar balancing oats. It can be made in under 5 minutes, popped in the fridge overnight and shared with all the family for a quick, nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients (per person)

Generous handful of oats

1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 tablespoons dried cranberries & blueberries

1 tablespoon shredded coconut

1 tablespoon crushed walnuts

Fresh berries

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Nut milk to cover

Method

Place oats, chia, berries, coconut & nuts in a bowl and mix well. Add the milk to cover the mixture so about half an inch of milk is sitting on top then mix again. Leave in the fridge overnight and mix again in the morning, adding more milk if required. Top with fresh berries.
