This easy to prepare breakfast is packed with protein, bursting with vibrant flavors, and will make your mornings exciting!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Nutrient-Packed Powerhouse: This recipe is packed with wholesome ingredients that provide a number of health benefits. Oats are high in fiber and are known for their heart healthy properties, helping to lower cholesterol and support digestive health. Chia seeds, flax and hemp add an extra boost of omega 3's, protein and antioxidants, making this breakfast a nutritious way to start your day.
Perfect for Meal Prep: Simply prepare the jars the night before and you'll have a delicious, ready to eat breakfast waiting for you. Just grab a jar on your way out the door! This makes it a convenient option for anyone who wants to maintain a healthy diet without sacrificing too much time.
Irresistibly Delicious: Imagine waking up to the delicious combination of creamy oats, chocolate, sweet strawberries and vanilla. Yes, please! And the chocolate shell is so much fun too. This indulgent and healthy breakfast will make every morning feel special.
The Chocolate: Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants that fight inflammation. It supports heart health, improves blood flow, boosts brain function, and lifts your mood! Still not into it? Don't worry, these oats are customizable. If you're limiting your fats, don't like chocolate, or feel that it may be too indulgent, feel free to leave it out.
I hope you enjoy this refreshing and nutritious take on overnight oats. It's the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of summer and have a little treat, while also nourishing your body.
Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats
Author: Elisa | Stability Nutrition
Yield: 2, 12 oz jars for 2 servings, or you can split it into 4 jars for 4 smaller servings
Ingredients:
For the Overnight Oats:
2/3 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons chia seeds
2 teaspoons flax meal
2 teaspoons hemp seeds
1 scoop (22g) chocolate protein powder (11g, or 1/2 scoop each jar)
1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant based milk)
1/2 cup unsweetened plain, dairy free yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
For the Topping (optional but recommended):
1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips, dairy free
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Cocoa powder (optional)
Sliced almonds, almond butter, coconut, or cacao nibs (optional)
Extra fresh strawberries, sliced (optional)
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, chia seeds, flax meal, hemp seeds, and chocolate protein powder. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, dairy free yogurt, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, stirring really well so there's no dry spots. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers. If making the topping, continue below. If not, refrigerate your overnight oats and enjoy within a few days.
If Making the Topping:
Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 10 seconds until smooth, creamy and completely melted.
Pour the chocolate topping evenly over each overnight oats jar, and gently tilt from side to side to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes uncovered, until set. Remove from the refrigerator and lightly dust with cocoa powder. Add the optional toppings, if desired.
Place the lids on and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, gently crack the hardened chocolate shell with a spoon, (yay, so fun!) give the oats a good stir, and enjoy your nutritious, delicious breakfast!
Enjoy!
