Raspberry and Chia Morning Oats

Want to know how to make your overnight oats even better and creamier?

Use whole milk and yogurt. And not just any  milk, but fairlife® ultra-filtered milk. Not only does fairlife ultra-filtered milk taste better, it’s also very creamy—an important factor when making overnight oats. I also don’t mind that the fairlife whole milk contains 13 grams of protein (50% more) and half the sugars typically found in other milk. Yay to that.

But most importantly fairlife’s extra creamy consistency yielded such a richer and creamier overnight oat. I’m thinking this is going to be my new swap out for all oatmeal recipes—overnight or not.

With the holidays rush and madness setting in early this year, I’m stocking the refrigerator with these pots of overnight oats. They are not only good for breakfast, but they make a great  mid-day snack or fuel for when I’m trying to stay on top of the schedules and gift shopping.

I made this version with a mix of berries, chopped chocolate covered almonds and chia, but of course you can mix and match the add-ins according your palate. Whatever or however you do it, just don’t forget the fairlife ultra-filtered milk!
