Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 scoop protein or collagen powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Toppings Optional

  • Dollop of whipped coconut cream -recipe below in notes
  • Drizzle of nut butter
  • Fresh fruit or berries
  • Coconut flakes
  • Granola
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  • In a mason jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, grated carrots, chia seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey and protein powder. Stir well.
    Cover the container and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2-4 hours) to let the oats soak and flavors meld.
    In the morning, top with walnuts and your choice of toppings for added nutrition, texture and creaminess to make a real meal of it.
    Personally, I think chilled overnight oats taste the best and have a wonderfully thick and creamy consistency. However, if you are craving hot overnight oats, you can warm them in the microwave or on the stovetop with an extra splash of water or milk to prevent them from drying out.
    Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. I recommend storing them in individually sealed mason jars or airtight containers so they are easier to grab and go during busy mornings.
     

Notes

Homemade Whipped Coconut Cream
Add even more nutrition and healthy qualities to many other dishes with nutrient-dense fluffy, whipped coconut cream.
It’s a dairy-free dessert topping that is not overly sweet and made with simple ingredients. This whipped coconut cream is just as thick, luscious, and creamy as dairy-full whipped cream and ideal for topping cakes, tarts, puddings, hot cocoa, and more.
Made with just 3 ingredients in 5 minutes of active time. Be sure to chill the canned coconut cream or milk the day before you need it.
Packed with healthy fats, tons of other good stuff and amazing flavour to help support a healthy, fit body.
