There’s something special about waking up to breakfast already made — especially when it’s as comforting and nourishing as these Spiced Chai Protein Overnight Oats. This recipe combines the warming spices of a spiced chai with nutrient-packed ingredients to create a prep-ahead breakfast that supports your gut, brain, and immune system.
Why this Recipe is Better
The recipe starts with ZEGO’s Cinnamon & Spice Superfood Oatmeal Blend, which is designed to deliver both flavor and functional nutrition. This blend features:
- β-glucan prebiotic fiber from oats, which has been linked to gut health, cognitive function, and immune support.
- Ceylon cinnamon and allspice, which offers antioxidant benefits and helps to maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
- Vitamin D2, a plant-based form of vitamin D that supports immune health and brain function.
We also added:
- Fresh ginger, which can help with nausea, indigestion, and menstrual cramps, and may also play a role in reducing pain from migraines and arthritis, boosting the immune system, and maintaining brain function. Additionally, ginger may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- Sacha inchi seeds are a complete protein, a good source of iron and fiber, which contributes to heart health, improved cholesterol levels, and may help with blood pressure regulation, and inflammation reduction.
For busy mornings, these overnight oats are ideal—you can prepare them in just a few minutes, and they’ll be waiting in the fridge when you’re ready. And if you’re a coffee lover, try the optional “dirty chai” twist by adding a splash of espresso for a subtle energy boost.
