Overnight Chia Oats with Blueberries and Kiwi
Mirror Mirror on the wall, which is the easiest and healthiest breakfast of them all?
It is definitely these Oats Chia Pudding!
It is not only a piece of cake to make this nutrient-boost/on the go breakfast with has full of life. Who wouldn't love to have a dessert/pudding right in the morning? This is not only going to give you your full potential to your day but will keep you full for a long time. Now ain't we looking for something like that, huh? We all might have had those days where we wanted to eat healthily but don't know how to start healthy. Well, this is absolutely dedicated to you guys. Well, I do not have a step by step image of this one, but hey, even a 5-year-old can make this! It's that simple.
Ps: I wasn't actually planning to post this on the blog, this explains why there isn't a step by step recipe. *Posting because of popular demand!😊
Let me be frank here, I am not a big fan of oats that is made into porridge. I actually feel empty within an hour or so when I have oats in the morning. So I pretty much don't like it, it is like the last resort I think of when it comes to breakfast ( like when there is only milk and oats to hog in the morning😬)
However, this cold oats pretty much changed my perspective on cold food; when you are up from the bed. You are going to love your mornings when you make such delights. These creamy, rich and nutritious, slightly sweet course is undoubtedly going to make it to your favorite breakfast menu. Your fam is going to love you even more.
All I do is grab my jar of Oats that has been sitting in the fridge since last night or 2 and grab a few berries and fruits or if I am much more in a hurry just put in a dash of dry fruits and voila! Delicious and filling breakfast ready! Hassle-free mornings are the best. Aren't they? So what are you waiting for? Grab your mason jars and get ready to indulge!
