Vegan overnight oats are the number one way to start you day the stress-free way.
Most mornings are busy, so all you want to do is grab something and start munching. These preprepared plant-based jars of joy are the answer, my friends!
No cooking, no fussing. Breakfast has never been simpler.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, these dairy-free overnight oats are far from boring. With almost limitless flavor combinations, these little wonders may well become a favorite way to get your day started.
Coconut Chocolate Overnight Oats
If you’re a coconut lover, these oats are for you. I assume you’re a chocolate lover because I just can’t imagine not being one! (Yes, plant-based practitioners can eat certain cocoa-based products, in case you were wondering “Is chocolate vegan-friendly?“)
Anyway, put these two together and you get a delicious and healthy breakfast that’s so easy to make. Charlotte’s adorable blog is not all vegan (or vegetarian) so I definitely appreciate her delving into the world of vegan cooking and coming up with this yummy recipe.
The full recipe can be found here at Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen.
