Nourishing Almond Butter Overnight Oats- Sweetened With Dates
I am a huge fan of overnight, especially since having my second born. Mornings, and life in general, has become busier than ever. As much as I love cooking and spending time in my kitchen, I love having food prepped and ready-to-go even more.
This overnight oat recipe is one of my go-to’s for a quick, nourishing and simple breakfast. It’s naturally sweetened with dates, includes powerhouse ingredients like chia seeds and hemp hearts, and is packed with the kind of glow-enhancing nutrients that support skin health, digestion, and sustained energy.
And the best part? You make it the night before so there is minimal work you have to do in the morning. All you have to do is combine everything in a jar or glass Tupperware bowl and pop it in the fridge. In the morning you will have a family friendly breakfast that is ready to go. Just add your favorite toppings like berries and sliced banana or other in-season fruit.
Glow-From-Within Benefits
I love including nutrient rich whole foods in my meals, especially at breakfast to support that natural glow and energy. Here is a breakdown of some of the foods in this overnight oat recipe:
Dates: These sweet bites are full of fiber, magnesium, and potassium which helps to balance blood sugar while offering a natural, whole-food sweetness.
Chia Seeds: These little seeds are packed with omega-3s. Plus, they help reduce inflammation and support glowing skin, hair, and nails.
Hemp Seeds: A complete plant protein and a good source of zinc, an essential for clear and radiant skin.
Oats: Oats are full of fiber making them a gut-friendly grain that keeps you full and supports steady energy throughout the day.
Almond Butter: This is a great additional source of protein and healthy fats. Plus, almonds contain Vitamin E which helps to nourish the skin from the inside out.
This recipe makes about 2-3 servings. In my home it is enough to feed myself, my three year old and my baby. Adjust your ratio as needed depending on how many people you are serving and how many days you will be eating them for.
When meal prepping for a few days ahead I recommend using separate jars for reach day of the week. Add your topping right on top of the oat mixture so you can have a quick grab and go breakfast.

When you feed your body with intention, your energy, mood, and radiance begins to shine.
