Carrot Cake Overnight Chia Oats
Believe it or not, I ate this exact breakfast at work for a few months in a row. I don’t know if it was the creamy nut butter, the fresh carrots or the fact that it filled me up and gave me fuel for the day but I stuck with it like glue. If you need any more reasons for why I had it so often it was because it’s super easy to make and keeps well in the fridge for days. I would make a batch for 3-4 days at a time so that my day-of prep was a much lighter load.
Now, I typically recommend adding some variety to meals but if you like this recipe as much as I do, please feel free to have it every day! Play around with different toppings to get to the perfect combination for you. I hope you love it!
