Tired of overnight oats + want to get leaner for the summer? Then try this overnight chia seed + hemp heart super breakfast! Since I’ve had so many clients doing the Keto + Whole30 diets, I figured it made sense to start experimenting with + creating lower carb recipes. I’ve found that hemp hearts (which are a seed from the hemp plant) are a really great substitution for oats in many recipes. They are also packed with protein, fiber + omega-3s. For those of you that don’t know, omega-3s are a fatty acid that is necessary for us to get from our foods as an imbalance in the body of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids causes inflammation in the body. The standard American diet actually contains many omega-6 fatty acids (aka vegetable oil, processed goods, etc.) which is why we need food abundant in omega-3s. This recipe contains chia seeds, hemp hearts + ground flax seeds which are all super abundant in omega-3s. I actually think I like this recipe better than my original overnight oats but I’ll let you guys decide 🙂 Have the best week, and happy nourishing your body!
- 4 oz non-dairy milk
