If you're wondering if blended overnight oats are healthy the answer is yes! My healthy blended and cream overnight oats are loaded with gut healthy benefits! This is an excellent breakfast for hormone balance, gut health, and weight loss thanks to its high fiber content.

• Rolled oats are an excellent source of fiber! Fiber is CRUCIAL for good gut health!

• Chia seeds are another excellent source of fiber! Chia seeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids which lower inflammation and help with cognitive function.

• Milk (depending on what kind you use) is a great source of calcium and other minerals! I like to use homemade almond milk or other plant based milks. But if you're not dairy sensitive like me, you can use organic whole milk!

• Yogurt is excellent for gut health! Depending on what kind you use, it can also be a great source of protein too! I like to use organic plain whole milk Greek yogurt and sometimes a coconut yogurt. Did you know, your body (especially us women), absorb more nutrients from whole milk yogurt instead of skim milk yogurt!

• Strawberries are filled with antioxidants to help lower inflammation and keep sickness away! Strawberries also have vitamin C to help your skin build collagen and glow!

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM OVERNIGHT OATS: CLASSIC NOT BLENDED VERSION

I love making strawberry overnight oats with chia seeds. Chia adds not only a ton of nutrition, but also helps to thicken your overnight oatmeal without cooking it!

STEP 1: ADD ALL INGREDIENTS EVENLY BETWEEN 4 MASON JARS

And yes you can make more or less depending on how many servings you want! Just keep in mind that these strawberry overnight oats with yogurt and chia seeds will last only 4-5 days in the fridge.

In each mason jar add:

• ½ cup rolled (old fashioned) oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ¼ cup yogurt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
• ¾ cup milk of choice
• ½ cup strawberries (fresh or frozen works)

STEP 2: STIR VERY WELL TO COMBINE

Using a spoon, stir your strawberry overnight oats very well to combine. You want to make sure the chia seeds get combined evenly with the milk to prevent clumping.

STEP 3: STORE OATS OVERNIGHT!

Seal your mason jars tightly and store your healthy strawberry overnight oats in the fridge till the next morning.

Not only do you have a quick and healthy breakfast recipe, but you also have soaked oats and chia seeds which your body will absorb the nutrients from better!
