Overnight Orange, Almond and Chia Oats

06/07/2018 By Caralee 5 Comments

I was lucky enough to be invited to create a bunch of recipes for Good Magazine. The brief was recipes that help us to reduce stress, which is perfect for me as a lawyer and busy mum, in fact, it is perfect for everyone, because who doesn’t have stress in their lives! The recipes needed to be full of ingredients that are stress relieving and easy.

Over the next few weeks I am going to release all of the stress busting recipes that I created out of a few key ingredients that are known to have stress reduction benefits.

We will kick off our stress busting series with this amazing, fresh and easy recipe which is perfect for breakfast.

Not only is this a delicious breakfast treat it is also full of excellent de-stressing ingredients. Both oranges and chia seeds are loaded magnesium, which acts as a precursor for neurotransmitters like serotonin, which is well known for its role in helping to regulate your emotions and enhance well being. The vitamin C found in the organ helps clear out cortisol from the bloodstream and thereby promotes a relaxed state of mind.

This recipe is made the night before, so it can be a really easy option for breakfast on the run. You could make it and divide in into takeaway jars so that you can just grab and run. Perfect!

      Hi Jenn. No this is a gluten free version of what overnight oats is usually like, so I have used Chia. I hope you enjoy the recipe all the same.

    A couple of years ago you personally signed a REAL FOOD PLEDGE for me. Well at long last for a few months I have been reading and cooking and advertising your great book to other friends who are dairy and sugar free here in Cairns
    Just like to say that I am a stroke survivor and have a very ill termanil husband.
    I have lost 6 kilos and eating real food and trying to destress. My health and wellness are improving.

    Thankyou Caralee xxxx
