Pink Quinoa Overnight Oats

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!
