Overnight oat chia pudding

‘Good Morning’
This little colourful glasses is a great addition to your breakfast tray as it looks pretty and tastes delicious. The combination of overnight oats and blueberry chia is lovely and creamy with a layering of different flavours. Perhaps a little treat for your loved one for valentine’s day tomorrow? I like the fact that you can make it in advance and its a matter of creativity to what you can top the glass with. It can be a berry heaven or an explosion of fruits or a classic combination of toasted pine nuts, figs, ricotta and honey.
Over night oats
- 1/2 cup oats ( I used robust old-fashioned ones that also have seeds in them)
- 1 cup almond milk
Mix the oats and milk together and place into the fridge over night. If the mixture looks too dry you can add more milk to it as this can vary depending on your type of oats. I encourage also to add seeds/nuts to it, such as flax or sunflower seeds.
Blueberry Chia pudding
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 tablespoons of oat milk
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons greek yogurt (any natural yogurt will do or even milk)
Mix the milk and the chia seeds in a glass and refrigerate for at least an hour or even over night. I used oat milk because I love the sweet flavour but any milk will do. Make sure to mix it once in a while and again, add more milk if the consistency looks too dry. Meanwhile place the blueberries into a blender with the greek yogurt and blend until smooth. Once the chia seeds have expanded and the consistency is more solid, gently mix in the blueberries.
Directions
Place the overnight oats in the bottom of a glass, then scoop the chia pudding on top of that. Add some mango slices, granola/nuts or some of your favourite toppings. I added honey cashews, mint leaves and lime zest.
- Mango
- Lime zest
- Mint leaves
- Shaved honey cashew (any granola will do)
