A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining rolled oats, chia seeds, fresh strawberries, and almond butter for a nourishing, calorie-conscious breakfast perfect for weight loss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats, old-fashioned
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (16g) natural almond butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly distribute.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in almond milk and vanilla extract. Add maple syrup or honey if using. Stir well until combined.
  3. Mix in almond butter: Spoon almond butter into the jar and swirl gently or leave on top to mix while eating.
  4. Add strawberries: Fold in chopped fresh strawberries. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess juice first.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Ready to eat: Stir oats before eating. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Top with extra strawberries, chia seeds, or almond butter if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats tend to get mushy. Chia seeds thicken the mixture and add fiber. Adjust almond milk quantity for preferred consistency. Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated. For a nut-free version, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use nut-free milk. Protein powder can be added after soaking for extra protein. Warm gently in microwave if preferred.
