A creamy, fiber-packed overnight oats recipe perfect for managing gestational diabetes, featuring rolled oats, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and fresh berries for a balanced, delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Measure your dry ingredients: Add 1/2 cup (45g) of rolled oats and 1 tablespoon (12g) of chia seeds to your jar or bowl.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk and 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt.
  3. Flavor it up: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Mix everything well: Use a fork or small whisk to combine, making sure chia seeds don’t clump. The mixture should look thick but pourable.
  5. Sweeten if needed: Add a pinch of stevia or monk fruit sweetener if you want a touch more sweetness.
  6. Cover and refrigerate: Seal your jar or cover your bowl tightly. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Add fresh berries before serving: Top with 1/2 cup (75g) of fresh mixed berries. Optionally add sliced almonds or flaxseeds for extra crunch.
  8. Enjoy chilled: Stir in a splash of almond milk if too thick and eat straight from the jar or bowl.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Chia seeds thicken the mixture and add fiber—don’t skip them for best results. Use stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar to keep blood sugar stable. Overnight refrigeration time can be 6-10 hours; longer soaking improves creaminess. Frozen berries can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw slightly before adding. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk.
