Strawberry Chia Overnight Oats

Strawberry chia overnight oats are a delicious, creamy tasting and healthy breakfast option. This sweet tasting, nutritious breakfast will ensure you have a great start to the day and a filling one too!

Game, set and match to……?

Well I guess we’re just going to have to wait and see who the winners of the ladies and gents Wimbledon Singles finals are this weekend aren’t we?

So I thought wouldn’t it be brilliant if we could enjoy the traditional Wimbledon strawberries and cream right at the start of the day so we wouldn’t have to wait until the match starts?

Also maybe we could enjoy strawberries and cream as a healthier breakfast option without the cream?

So I put together this amazing strawberry chia overnight oats recipe and I guarantee you are not going to be disappointed!

In a fact you may well want to have this INSTEAD of strawberries and cream because it’s just so yummy!

It’s not just in tribute to Wimbledon that I created this recipe but also the fact that the Scottish soft fruit season is in full flow.

Strawberries are as fresh as I can get them without actually going to the farmers field to pick them myself. Which I would do if I had the time.

In fact when I lived in Dundee I used to pick strawberries and raspberries during the soft fruit season for local farms and get paid for it. I’d say about half of what I picked went into my basket destined for the shops and the other half went in my mouth!

Anyway it would be a shame to go past this time of year and not have a brand new recipe using theses amazing fresh sweet delights!

In this strawberry chia overnight oats recipe in order to get the creaminess I substituted cream with just 4 tablespoons of 50% reduced fat crème fraiche.

That substitution as well as the addition of chia seeds helps to reduce the overall calorie content but still gives the desired “creamy” affect of actual cream.

Crème fraiche makes for a fantastic lower calorie alternative to fresh cream, provided it’s a lower calorie version that you’re using.

Recipes like this healthy strawberry overnight oats breakfast just go to prove that you don’t need a ton of cream to enjoy a creamy tasting recipe.

Now don’t get me wrong, I do love cream, I’m not knocking it in any way, it’s just I much prefer to leave my indulgence of cream to my cheesecakes and pudding recipes!

All part of the 80/20 rule for eating.

Anyway Wimbledon. I say bring it on! 🙂
