About the recipe

This is a simple and quick recipe with minimal ingredients that work well for a healthy diet. They are simple one's which are easily found in kitchens such as honey, chia seeds and oats all soaked in milk overnight.

Overnight oats are healthier if eaten in soaked form than cooking them quickly and having them.

I am using rolled oats for a healthy option and they take a few hours to soak well and are good to eat. Using rolled oats is a healthy option as they are less processed, contain fibre in large amounts.

This is basically a simple recipe but needs to be soaked for a few hours and can be later eaten as a breakfast meal or dinner or anytime and replacing it with unhealthy diet options.

To have oats to lose weight this is a perfect and healthy choice recipe.

Choosing the right kind of oats is essential to make overnight oats and there are several varieties of oats that are less processed to more processed.

Another healthy recipe to check out on the blog to lose weight is the vegetable salad recipe for weight loss.

Types of Oats

Instant oats: These are quick oats and are perfect to use for quick recipes such as to make smoothies or any quick milkshakes or pancakes without needing to cook them for a longer time and cook in just a minute whether in a microwave or can be used directly.

These are healthy but are thin as they are processed well.

Rolled oats: These are less processed compared to instant quick oats and require at least 4-5 minutes if making on the stovetop or need few hours for them to soak well before consuming.

These processed oats too are healthy, slightly thick but the cooking time for each variety of oats varies. These contain fibre as well and are good for health with zero cholesterol.

Steel-cut oats: These are in the form of grains and take a longer time to cook. They take around 25 to 30 minutes to cook well.

Healthy overnight oats recipe for weight loss

Therefore, the better oats to use for soaking and making overnight oats recipes is rolled oats.

The recipe that I will be sharing down below is a healthy overnight oats recipe that can be used by anyone or with the main purpose to lose weight.

The ingredients required to make are listed below.

Also, check out some more healthy recipes related to weight loss that are chia seeds for weight loss, salt water cleanse etc...

Ingredients

Oats: I am using rolled oats to make this recipe and not using any quick or steel-cut oats. The rolled oats are full of fibre, soaks easily and are perfect to use in an overnight oats recipe.

Oats are a high source of protein and digest well too.

Chia seeds: The chia seeds are a rich source of iron and calcium as well as contains fibre. Fibrous foods help with good digestion and help in losing weight with its usage. They are black small seeds and are packed with lots of healthy nutrients.

Cinnamon: This is used in powdered form in the recipe which is a commonly used ingredient in making weight loss recipes and also adds flavour.

almond milk: This is healthy milk than using whole milk or cream milk or full-fat milk. Using soy milk or almond milk contains less fat and is a great replacement for high-calorie milk.

Honey: This adds slight sweet flavours as well as a healthy sweetener. Using honey as a weight loss ingredient gives good flavours to different drinks and helps to consume or eat the dish effortlessly.

Fruits: I am using fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, apples, and bananas and using any other fruits to make the dish is also suggested.

Finely chop the fruits after soaking and before serving is a great option.

Chia seeds too are rich in iron and calcium. It is a powerful ingredient to lose weight. Just soak them in water for and drinking has many benefits too.

Using chia seeds in oats or smoothies improves heart-related health issues, controls blood sugar levels and has high protein content too.

Combining the above ingredients with low-fat almond milk along with honey and cinnamon makes a great meal.

Cinnamon is free of cholesterol, it improves heart and sugar level issues and using honey is a great sugar-free option as well as a weight-loss option.

    I like my oatmeal warm...can I microwave in the morning to warm it up before adding fruit? Why not make it on top of stove, it takes less than 10 minutes instead of 6-7 hours in the refrigerator...JS
