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 love all your overnight oats, canāt wait to try this recipe. Do you think adding half avocado in addition to the rest of the ingredients, will work ok in this recipe ? Thank you

Can u leave out banana and use date to sweeten instead
Amy says
Hi Maeve, I’d really have to test it to say for sure. It would be worth a try. Just make sure the dates are fresh / have been soaked in boiling water so that they blend easily. If you find it too thick you can always add a splash more milk or stir in some yoghurt in the am. If you try it, I’d love to know what you think. š

I donāt 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
Thanks Erin, glad he likes it and that you managed to find a ration that worked for you. Thanks for taking the time to let me know š
