    Spiced turmeric overnight oats combines the powerful anti-inflammatory turmeric with warm spices and nutrient-dense chia seeds for a grab-and-go breakfast. These healthy overnight oats make an easy breakfast meal prep recipe.

    Spiced Turmeric Overnight Oats is an easy recipe that makes for a delicious grab-and-go breakfast that is vegan and packed with plant-based protein and fiber. Bonus? It's free of the top 8 food allergens, so even if you're dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free or whatever, you can still enjoy a delicious anti-inflammatory breakfast!

    Do you struggle to eat breakfast everyday? Does it often get left behind because you're scrambling in the morning rush trying to get everyone out of the house and to work and school on time?

    If this sounds familiar, you are not alone! And that's where these easy grab-and-go turmeric overnight oats come in. 🙂

    These Spiced Turmeric Overnight Oats take less than five minutes (seriously!) to throw the ingredients in a jar, shake, and pop in the fridge. The magic happens overnight as the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid. Then in the morning all you have to do is open the fridge, grab your jar of overnight oats, and get out the door!

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Aren't I supposed to be telling you to sit serenely at a table and blissfully enjoy your breakfast with the lovely companionship of friends and family, completely devoid of any and all screens?

    Well sure, in a perfect world, yes. But I don't know about y'all but my world is far from perfect. Does that mean I encourage you, me, or anyone else to have screens around at mealtimes? Definitely not - limiting screens at meals is a fantastic goal. But I do encourage breakfast, and real talk? Sometimes that means having overnight oats as your work computer boots up instead of not eating at all.

    What is turmeric?

    Turmeric is a spice, most commonly used in Asian food. It's long been used in dishes such as curries, but has been popping up in trendy health foodie circles in golden milks, turmeric lattes, and more due to its anti-inflammatory health benefits. Now, my stance is that no one food or spice will cure as all, but it's fun to try different spices and foods and see how they work for you. Taste-wise it's warm, very earthy, and can have a slight bitterness.

    Spiced Turmeric Overnight Oats Balanced Flavors

    In these Spiced Turmeric Overnight Oats you lose a bit of the bitterness with the addition of a touch of real maple syrup. Despite being a refrigerated breakfast, it feels quite warm and cozy from the warm turmeric spice plus the additional warming fall spices from pumpkin pie spice.

        Hi Tina! The spiced turmeric overnight oats is the yellow base to the recipe (also seen in what's on the spoon/ maybe seen more clearly in the second and third picture?) I personally like different textures and flavors in my meals, so I added toppings (banana slices, goji berries, and pumpkin seeds). I apologize for any confusion (there's absolutely no cheese in this recipe or the toppings!), I hope this clears it up! Have a great day!

+Are you moving your body in a way that feels good right now?
