Thank you Natural Balance for sponsoring this recipe!
I'm a latecomer to this overnight oats trend but now I've tried it, I can see what the fuss is about. What's not to love about a breakfast that's quick to prepare and ready first thing in the morning?
Plus, it's so good for you and can be made to taste so delicious.
This is another recipe I've created in partnership with Nakd bars and this time I've used their Strawberries & Cream Nibbles.
The nibbles are added to the overnight oats but don't worry if you can't get hold of them - they're just extras and not required to make this recipe!
I'm sure you know the deal with overnight oats by now but the idea is that you prepare a mixture of oats and whatever other ingredients you're using at night, leave them to sit in the fridge and in the morning, they're ready to eat straight from the container.
Here in the UK we call it 'Bircher Muesli'.
You can warm them up if you prefer but most tend to eat them as they come.
Along with the creaminess of the oats and the almond milk, the "cream" element mainly comes from dairy-free yoghurt. You can use whatever yoghurt you like whether it's soy-based or coconut-based.

Perfect pour shot with the perfect maple syrup spoon, so cute <3 I love the thought of creamy yogurt on top, I need to try that. I am late to the OO game too, but totally loving them right now so we can just be fashionably late together!

Haha my maple syrup spoon - that's what it's called from now on. Thanks Natalie!
