Berry Peach Overnight Chia (Protein) Oats

The peaches have been really good this year so we have been enjoying them as much as possible. I love the combination of peaches and berries. These Berry Peach Overnight Chia Oats combine berries in with the chia oats and I top or layer with fresh ripe peaches. You can use any berry you like, in these we used blackberries and strawberry. I also love peaches paired with blueberries and raspberries. I usually get the craving to make one of them right before a workout so I take my pre-workout energizer and in the 20 minutes before I workout I whip these up so they are ready when I am done. You can also make them the night before for a quick healthy breakfast in the morning. I add my favorite plant-based protein powder to mine but omit it for the girls. I also use chia seeds in mine but the girls aren’t a huge fan on chia seeds in their overnight oats so I use chia powder for theirs. You can customize as desired. While most people enjoy overnight oats for breakfast I also love them for snack or dessert adjusting the oats and chia seeds using more chia seeds when making in the afternoon.

Do you like berries and peaches? What is your favorite berry to enjoy with peaches?

There are many ways to make these, you can make it the night before or if you are like me make it before a workout so it is ready after. You can blend or mash your berries and milk depending on how much texture you want. In a bowl or jar mash berries and stir in milk. Add oats, chia seed/powder, and protein powder if using, stirring until combine. Or in a Vitamix, or small food processor, blend milk, berries, and protein powder if using. Pour into a bowl or jar and stir into chia seeds/powder and oats in a bowl. Set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or overnight. If you are making the night before and are taking it to go you can top with diced or sliced peaches or pull it out after 15 minutes and layer and place back in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. Otherwise after 15 minutes or in the morning chop or layer with diced or slice peaches. I like to layer if putting it in a jar so I get a bite of peach each time. If placing in a bowl I just add them on top. Top with optional toppings if desired. Enjoy!

As a Vega Recipe Ambassador I receive some Vega products, which I used as an option in this recipe. I use Vega not because it is given to me , I do purchase many on my own as well, but because it has been my plant-based protein of choice since before I started blogging and some recipes are made with Vega products I purchase. I only write about foods I love, my blog is an extension of my hobby to make fun healthy food creations for me and my family. I do not make any money off any Vega sales or posts.
