Happy January! This recipe has been on repeat over here as a mama of 2 and bc it is the best of both worlds – overnight oats and chia pudding. I started by rotating between the 2 regularly. However, I wanted to create something that was less carb heavy and more protein focused like chia pudding but had the consistency of overnight oats. Voila – the half + half overnight breakfast was born. The perfect breakfast to kick off your January and feel your best. You’re welcome 😉

Notes
If you want to increase creaminess and healthy fat, make it with 2 tbsp of coconut yogurt and 4 oz of almond milk.
If you want a chocolate version, omit vanilla and cinnamon and add 1 tbsp of unsweetened cacao powder and optional splash of stevia.
