What To Serve With It
Pairing your overnight oats with the right sides can turn a simple breakfast into a satisfying meal.
I love adding fresh fruit like berries, bananas, or sliced apples for a burst of natural sweetness. Sometimes, I sprinkle nuts or seeds—like almonds, chia, or flax—for a crunchy texture and extra protein.
A dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey adds creaminess and flavor. If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll toss in a handful of granola or dark chocolate chips.
These combos keep things exciting and guarantee I start my day feeling full and energized. It’s all about balance and creativity!
