Sew, Let's Make..... Overnight oats

Hey remember me?? I know it has been like forever since we spoke but I am back. I have had a crazy couple of months. As you already knew I took on a full time course while also being a full time mum, some might say that's impossible... and I would say they are fairly correct! lol
Well anyway recently I have been on a healthier journey and if you guys follow me on social media Facebook or Instagram you can see some of my recipes over there. I plan on adding all of those recipes here too over the next couple of weeks for those of you not following me on other social media sites. 
Today I will share a very versatile breakfast/lunch idea with you, that i find great as it can be prepared a couple of days in advance, which lets face it we all could do with once in a while. For those busy mornings dropping kids off to school or getting ready for work in a hurry this should help you save time! x


Over night oats

you will need

1/2 cup oats
1T  Chia  seeds (whole or ground)
1/2T flax seeds (ground is best for me)
1T greek yoghurt (optional
Almond/rice/oat milk (enough to cover oats in bowl/jar)


How to

1. In a mason/jam jar add your dry ingredients and mix a little so all chia and flax do not clump together.
2. If adding yoghurt add now, then cover with the milk of your choice. 
3. Cover and leave in fridge overnight*.

Flavour Combos

It is not essential to add flavours but it makes it more exciting, if you choose to add flavour add them just after step 1. The combinations of flavours is endless but if you have no idea where to start here are a few of my favourites:

Piná Colada - 5/6 pineapple chunks with 1t shredded coconut (sugar free)

Nuts about you - 1T peanut butter

Olde Fashioned - 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon with 1/2 an apple


*Can make 3 portions at once if you find it handier. as it should last 3-4 days.



I really hope this recipe helps you as much as it has me.. Leave me a comment to let me know which flavours you added!!
