Happy Tuesday guys!

What's so great about this trend that's been sweeping social media and foodie blogs everywhere?

Well, for starters, overnight oats are easy as hell to make. And secondly, they suit many diets. For instance, you can use gluten-free oats, to make it gluten-free, or you can use non-dairy milk, to make it dairy-free and vegan.

You can also add any combination of your fave toppings. And you can sweeten it with whatever you like, or use no sweetener at all.

In my recipe for overnight oats I've included chia seeds as an added superfood. I love eating chia pudding, and I found that if I combine chia seeds with my overnight oats, it's like killing two birds with one stone. I get the health benefits of chia and I get it with my morning oats.

Why are chia seeds so healthy?

Chia seeds have a huge amount of nutrients without all the calories. (There's only 23 calories in 1 tsp of chia seeds!) They're a non-GMO, gluten-free, whole grain and are usually grown organically. Chia seeds are loaded with vitamins and minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Though they may appear small, they are one of the most nutritious foods in the world.

Cinnamon chia overnight oats have been my go-to breakfast, lunch, snack or even dinner.

Here's how I did it:

Ingredients

1 cup organic oats (use gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free
1.5 cups organic milk (can substitute with any non-dairy milk)
1 tbsp organic chia seeds
1 tbsp organic cinnamon
2 tsp organic maple syrup

Toppings

1/2 tbsp almond butter
Strawberries
Blueberries
Blackberries

Directions

Place all ingredients in a glass mason jar and mix well.

Place in the fridge overnight. And that's it! Add all you toppings and enjoy your oats the next day for breakfast, lunch or anything in between.

This recipe yields two servings, with approximately 300 calories per bowl (depending on what you choose to top it with).
