Recipe: Overnight chia-oats

Right now, I eat this every single morning in the week days ♥

I just love it.. It is very healthy, delicious & satiating. I also love that I can use a lot of topping on this – Topping just makes everything even more delicious! ♥ Below the recipe you can read what I am using as topping on my overnight oats 🙂

Besides topping, I also always eat it with fresh fruit, berries or  homemade compote.

This is just an amazing start on my mornings – and chia seeds are very healthy 🙂

What is chia seeds ?

Chia seeds are teeny tiny – But veeeery healthy!
They contains 20% omega-3 fatty acids.

Besides omega-3, chia seeds also contains protein, fibers, calcium & antioxidants.

As chia seeds are in contact with liquid, they expands and become much bigger – Therefore they are really satiating (much more than you think of these tiny seeds)
When the seeds are in contact with liquid, they also besome some kind of gelatin, that makes the food stick together – like glue 🙂

→ REMEMBER!!
Do not eat the seeds without any liquid.
