A health blog staple. Overnight oats. Soak raw oats for at least a few hours, if not overnight, and they go from chewy to tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common technique is to make this before bed and you’ll have a breakfast present waiting for you in the fridge. As someone who is chronically unorganised, and who prefers smoothies for breakfast, I have my oats in the afternoon. They only need about two hours to be ready so I normally whip something together at lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Add all the ingredients to a jar, cup or bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stir<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Wait 2-36 hours (you can apparently keep for longer than 3 days, but I don’t) <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Enjoy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The combinations are truly endless. I’m going to use rolled oats and almond milk as the base for every recipe here but you can use oat, rice, hazelnut, cashew or coconut milk. Or water or coconut water. A tablespoon of chia seeds normally goes good too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
