    Overnight oats are great but these superfood oats are better. They pack a nutritional punch! And you just add water. How easy can that get?

    We find we are always out of an ingredient- usually the milk or nut-milks required to make them. So I developed a recipe for meal prepping my overnight oats- just this time with some extra nutrition.

    We have added chia seeds, hemp hearts, flax seed and maca powder to make this high in protein and fiber for a filling and nutritious breakfast.

    I make a large batch- at least 8 servings- and the recipe uses coconut milk powder instead of milk. I did this to make the recipe shelf-stable for meal preppers while ensuring the final product is still creamy and delicious.

    If you are avoiding coconut but eat dairy then regular milk powder works fine as well.

    There is a lot to talk about when it comes to overnight oats and instant vs. regular. But we covered all that and more in our everything about overnight oats post.

    In that post, we also review our 3 other instant overnight oat blends. These are definitely worth checking out if you want to try something new! Just like our protein oats, these just require water.

    How to Make Single Serving Superfood Oats

    We get it, not everyone is into meal prepping. If you just want to make one single serving of oats combine the below ingredients and store in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    • ½ cup old-fashion oats, gluten-free
    • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
    • 1 tablespoon Coconut milk powder, or Nido milk powder
    • 1 tablespoon Flaxseed, ground
    • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, optional
    • 1 teaspoon Hemp Heart
    • 1 teaspoon Maca Powder (gelatinized)
    • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¾ cup water

    If you don't have dry milk powder substitute the powder and water for ¾ c milk, regular or non-dairy.

      Can you substitute whole flax seed for the ground flax seed?

        You can, but you get more benefits from the ground.

      Made with peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jam. It was excellent, although I didint have the maca powder.
