Overnight Raspberry Chia Oats

Overnight chia oats are a breakfast staple in my house. I prep them 1-2x a week because they are perfect for busy mornings. Overnight oats are something you can prep the quickly the night before and they’ll be ready to go when you wake up.

This raspberry version is one of my new favorites and a great way to use those frozen raspberries you have lying in your freezer.

Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits. They are high in fiber and full of antioxidants. Not only that but they are also low in sugar compared to other fruit.

For these oats I added a scoop of unsweetened protein powder just to make them a bit more filling. They do contain protein on their own, however, if you want to add more protein to your diet I recommend adding 1/2-1 serving of a plain or vanilla protein powder. If you don’t use a vanilla protein powder, feel free to add a pinch of vanilla bean powder or ½ a tsp of vanilla extract.

I also kept these oats added sugar free by sweetening with whole dates. Whole dates make a great sweetener alternative because they contain fiber and have a lower glycemic index than other sweeteners. If you don’t have dates, a mashed banana would work great!

What you need (serves 2):

1 cup organic rolled oats
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 1/4 cup almond milk or other plant based milk
A pinch of salt
2 pitted dates
¾ cup frozen raspberries
Optional 1/2-1 serving of vanilla protein powder (unsweetened)

Directions: Combine the oats and chia seeds in a jar. In a blender combine the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the raspberry milk over the oats. Stir, cover and set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
