Chocolate Cherry Overnight Oats Breakfast (dairy-free)
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a mason jar or container with tight fitting lid and you can either place lid on and shake together ingredients or stir together and then put lid on. Place in fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready to eat, remove from fridge and dig in or you can transfer to a serving glass or bowl and garnish with a dollop of dairy-free yogurt, chopped or grated dark chocolate and fresh cherry slices.
Notes
Note: I am lactose intolerant, that is why I choose to create a dairy-free version, but if you would like to use real dairy ingredients you can (equal substitution amounts.) Keep in mind that the nutritional value may change.
Equipment needed: Jar with lid or container with tight fitting lid.
Why are overnight oats good for your gut?
- Oats are prebiotic. Starches in oats promote friendly bacteria that live in your gut, helping keep your microbiome in balance. Oats also contain two types of fiber (soluble and insoluble) that can help keep you regular and relieve bloating.
- Cherries are full of fiber and antioxidants and also promote weight loss, immunity, brain health and more.
- Vital proteins collagen peptides supports healthy hair, nails, skin, bones and joints.
- The dairy-free yogurt alternative contains live and active cultures promoting better gut health, along with protein and calcium.
- Flaxseeds are also great for your gut health and are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
