Blended Berry Overnight Oats – A perfectly balanced kids’ breakfast that is deliciously smooth and creamy.
My boys have become a bit obsessed with smoothies in the morning. If they were to get to choose their breakfast, then smoothies would always come out on top (closely followed by pancakes).
I love how easy smoothies are to prepare and how great they are for sneaking in veggies and other nutrient dense food. I also often add oats to make them filling and deliciously thick & creamy.
I have always liked the idea of overnight oats, and although the boys like them, I really struggle to eat them. I’m not keen on milky products and I think that is my main problem. The other day, when I was making an oat smoothie, the idea of blending overnight oats came to me. I blended oats with milk, banana, berries, ground almonds and chia seeds. I then popped the mixture into a couple of jars and refrigerated overnight. The result was a delicious, thick, pudding like smoothie. I topped it with a good spoonful of peanut butter and some fresh fruit.

I donβt have ground almonds. Will it make a big difference if I leave that out?
Erin says
This is a perfect healthy breakfast we started making as my son got sick of baby cereal. He livyes the creamy texture and just gobbles it down. I use 3/4 cup of quick oats because that’s what we tend to buy – I found the texture was too soupy with just 1/2 but it may be thicker with rolled oats. Thank you Amy!
Amy says

Hi Lauren, I haven’t actually tried freezing this, sorry. I think it would be ok though.
Lauren says

This sounds great, I can’t wait to try! Do you think it’d work with mango (fresh or frozen)? I’ve got stacks in the freezer!

Hi, Yes you can totally leave out the ground almonds. I just added them for a little more protein. Please note I have updated the recipe, I forgot to add the milk when I first posted it.
