Lemon Poppyseed Chia-Oats
For breakfast or even a snack!
Fresh squeezed lemon & a pinch of zest (because we love being all extra about things, right?) are what makes this yummy make-ahead Plant-Based breakfast da bomb! Gluten-free, No Added-Sugar and packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals and good fat – this is Healthy-Summer at its best!
I called this dish “breakfast” for obvious reasons….. I mean, oats and milk = breakfast, right? But you know our APC mantra – You’re the Boss of YOU, and I love this just as much as a snack. No rules – have it as you wish 😉
Finding Short-Cuts to make Healthy-Living 2nd Nature
I love, love LOVE sharing simple ways to make Healthy-Living easy & motivating to integrate into your life. Especially when it comes to cooking. Don’t get me wrong….. I LIKE to cook – but I have zero desire to spend all day doing it and I definitely don’t want to make brand new dishes every fricking day – do you? I mean – we’re BUSY, am I right??
that have truly made Healthy-Living 2nd nature in our home.
Two of those short-cuts are:
- Making meals with Simple, Limited, Healthy Ingredients.
- AND Doubling up on the recipe, so we have at least another serving for the next day.
This Lemon Poppyseed Overnight Chia-Oats recipe is definitely one that I double-up on! The recipe makes 2-servings, so I double it for 4-days worth of breakfasts or a snack – just depending on the mood! Oliver doesn’t like lemon (wtf??), so he won’t dip into my stash. It’s easy to make – but heads-up, requires a touch more “work” than typical overnight oats only because you’re zesting a lemon. Other than that – it’s super easy, traditional Overnight Oats.
I’m all about simple short-cuts to make Healthy-Living EASY & super motivating! Double-up on recipes for a few days of fast, healthy meals.
Have as Breakfast or a Snack. Sometimes I make in the morning, knowing it’ll be a great snack later in the day. Works perfectly!
