Fact: mornings just got 100 times better.
I am here to tell you that nutritious breakfasts and stress-free mornings do exist, and they come in the form of something beautiful known as overnight oats.
Stress-free and easy both need to be part of life, and if there is a way to get the same results (or better) by doing things in simpler, easier, less-time-consuming kind of ways, you better believe we’re choosing that route! Non-stressful mornings are the start to every great day; no one wants complicated starts. And, friends, this recipe right here is one of those life hacks that can get us to those great starts.
Got 5 minutes, a few mason jars and a bit of fridge space? Perfect, you’re set.
Oats are not 100% Paleo, as they are a grain. However, they are 100% gluten free (if not contaminated in the factory while being processed, so make sure you always buy the ones labeled “gluten free certified”).
I enjoy oats frequently because they don’t hurt my stomach nor give me inflammation, and if you’re on that same boat…you better pin, save, screenshot this recipe because mornings just got delicious, nutritious and easy for you.
The key to this recipe are not necessarily the oats though, but the collagen peptides that I added to the mix. It’s the collagen that gives the recipe its protein, while also adding to its consistency. Don’t you love an ingredient that offers more than just one benefit?
These flavored collagen peptides are mighty, they:
- Are packed with probiotics that support gut health
- Contribute to a balanced diet and improve digestion
- Promote healthy hair/skin/nails
- Support bone and joint strength
- Improve athletic performance
- Contain zero artificial sugars or sweeteners
Another thing I will say about this breakfast: it is perfect for summer. Because when temperatures start rising, we’re done with hot meals and beverages. It is precisely now that we crave cold everything.
These soft, creamy and lightly sweet cold oats are just what we need on a sunny spring or summer morning. Not only do we need them for a yum breakfast that is packed with nutrition and easy on our busy morning routines, but also for helping us keep our cool (stress & temp wise).
So, here is what you need to do:
- Get a mason jar out
- Combine collagen with cacao and set aside
- Add oats, chia seeds, collagen and cacao mix to the jar
- Mix in plain greek yogurt, coconut butter, non-dairy milk and a bit of maple syrup
- Close lid and shake, shake, shake
- Refrigerate overnight
Then, wake up in the morning, open the fridge and get your jar out. Top with blackberries and mini dark chocolate chips, stir up and enjoy. Eat it on the porch, couch, office, etc. Yum.
