Dr Ayesha Sherzai from @thebraindocs made Overnight Quinoa Oats for breakfast, and it sounded so good I had to give it a go. I twisted it slightly and started by making pink milk for a colourful touch (which is just soy milk, raspberries, dates and cinnamon). Then combined it with quinoa, oats, hemp and chia seeds, let it rest, then added my favourite toppings.
The verdict? The texture is great. It’s packed with fibre, protein (22g!) and omegas 3s and is absolutely delicious.
It’s a big yes from us, and I’m looking forward to trying it with different flavours!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) raspberries
- 2 dates - Medjool or soaked in boiling water for 10 min and drained, or 1 tbsp date syrup
- 1 ½ cups (354.88 ml) soy milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (185 g) cooked quinoa
- ½ cup (40.5 g) oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 4 tbsp soy yogurt
- 2 kiwis - diced

Instructions
- Blend the raspberries, dates, cinnamon, and soy milk in a blender until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, oats, hemp seeds, and chia seeds.
- Pour the raspberry mixture over the quinoa and oats. Stir until well combined.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest overnight, or at least for 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together and the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

The night before I had a quick taste and it seemed bland so I wasn’t looking forward to it the next morning. However when I added my blueberries and kiwi – it was awesome. Will definitely make it again but with lower quantities as the recipe served three!
Oh. I used whole milk instead.
So happy you loved it! Thank you for sharing Julia 🥰
