These Tropical Overnight Oats combine Silk Almond Coconut Blend with old fashioned oats, vanilla Greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Refrigerate overnight, top with kiwi and pineapple in the morning for a bright tropical breakfast or snack.
If you follow this blog, you may know I recently completed a six-week health challenge. Cleaning up my diet and choosing healthier options has made a noticeable difference in how I feel. One change I made during the challenge was switching to Silk almond milk. I suspect I’m slightly sensitive to lactose — regular milk bothers my stomach — so almond milk has been a gentle, satisfying alternative. I especially like the thicker texture in cereal and smoothies, and it contains more calcium than regular milk. Best of all, it agrees with my stomach.
I recently tried the new Silk Almond Coconut Blend and enjoy it a lot. It’s great in cereal, stirred into yogurt with banana and frozen fruit for a creamy smoothie, or used in recipes like these overnight oats. I appreciate that Silk milks are relatively low in calories, which helps when you’re tracking intake during a challenge. I plan to keep using this almond coconut blend after the challenge because it’s a tasty, healthy staple.
The overnight oats are simple to prepare and customizable. For two servings you’ll need 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 2/3 cup Silk Almond Coconut Blend. Mix everything together, divide into jars, and refrigerate for at least eight hours or overnight.
In the morning, add fresh fruit and enjoy. To keep the tropical theme, I topped mine with diced kiwi and fresh pineapple, which pair nicely with the coconut notes in the almond coconut blend. My husband loved this combination.
These jars also make convenient afternoon snacks. If you split the recipe into two half-pint jars, each jar is about 201 calories (estimated using a nutrition tracker). Having ready-to-eat, healthy options on hand makes it easier to stick to good habits.
Cold oats take a little getting used to if you’re used to warm oatmeal, but the texture is soft, chewy, and filling. Whether you try this exact tropical version or swap in your favorite fruit and mix-ins, overnight oats are an easy make-ahead breakfast. And even if you don’t try the recipe, consider sampling the Silk Almond Coconut Blend — I also enjoy it on a protein-packed cereal.
