Almond Berry Overnight Oats

No cook creamy oats with strawberry, raspberry, almonds and dark chocolate that takes only 15 minutes of your time and yes, everything is prepped up at night! 

Breakfast!

What are your thoughts about breakfast?

I have noticed two sorts of people when it comes to breakfast time. First kind enjoys their breakfast, they make sure to leave some time for breakfast (even if that means taking out time at the cost of putting on makeup, getting hair done, fidgeting with cloth choices and other endless tasks that always seem more important!) and yes I belong to that category. Second kind never ever eats breakfast at home. They feel like it’s not sensible to start pushing food through them first thing in the mornings. Well I respect both kinds, it’s a personal preference.

But as you must have guessed, I belong to the first kind. For me, breakfast gives me the fuel to work throughout the day. I can’t imagine myself functioning properly without having a decent breakfast. But often due to lack of time, I find myself going through same old toast and egg routine and then there are some days when I just can’t take any more eggs.

So while I have been noticing all kinds of overnight oats doing the rounds, packed with fruits, nut butters, even savory, I myself never really gave a thought to this concept of overnight oats. But now, I am HOOKED.

These are so much better than stirring oats in a pot in the wee hours. I never really thought that cold oats might taste good but I was so wrong!

 These are like having a treat first thing in the morning. You can seriously go crazy with the type of toppings, flavors, fruits, nut butters, nuts you want to add. Since I already had some berries sitting at home, I decided to use them up and this oat as you can see is just my dream breakfast. And it’s the perfect color for valentines day too! I am so making this for our breakfast on v-day as what better than starting the day right with these lovely overnight oats.

 So beautiful!
