Für die perfekte Konsistenz ist das Verhältnis von Flüssigkeit zu Haferflocken entscheidend. Sollten die Overnight Oats am Morgen zu fest sein, einfach einen Schuss Mandelmilch hinzufügen und umrühren. Die Chia-Samen sorgen für die puddingartige Textur – wer es weniger dick mag, reduziert diese leicht. Für eine wärmere Option können die Overnight Oats auch kurz in der Mikrowelle erwärmt werden.
Diese Overnight Oats lassen sich vielfältig anpassen: Probieren Sie griechischen Joghurt anstelle eines Teils der Mandelmilch für extra Cremigkeit, oder ersetzen Sie die Mandelbutter durch Erdnuss- oder Cashewbutter je nach Vorliebe. Bei Unverträglichkeiten funktionieren auch Kokosmilch oder Hafer-Drinks hervorragend als Flüssigkeitsbasis. Wenn frische Beeren nicht verfügbar sind, können aufgetaute Tiefkühlbeeren verwendet werden – diese vorher abtropfen lassen, um überschüssige Feuchtigkeit zu vermeiden.
Servieren Sie diese Clean Eating Overnight Oats direkt aus dem Kühlschrank in hübschen Gläsern für ein ansprechendes Frühstück. Für zusätzliche Textur und Nährwerte können Sie vor dem Servieren Granola, gehackte Nüsse oder Kokosflocken darüberstreuen. Ein frischer Spritzer Zitronensaft hebt den Beerengeschmack hervor. Für ein komplettes Frühstück reichen Sie dazu einen kleinen grünen Smoothie oder ein Glas frisch gepressten Orangensaft.
