These strawberry shortcake overnight oats will remind you of the beloved dessert but they’re so healthy you can eat them for breakfast every day.
Who doesn’t love dessert for breakfast? But starting the day with a white-sugar-packed caloric bomb is not exactly the best idea in the world. If you’ve ever tried this, you surely remember the sugar high and the following crash along with uncontrollable cravings.
Thank goodness you can have your (short)cake and eat it too! With these decadent strawberry shortcake overnight oats, you’ll feel like you’re indulging but you’ll be nourishing your body at the same time. There’s no sugar, butter, oil, dairy or refined grains in this spring breakfast, just healthy ingredients bursting with vitamins and minerals.
In case you’d like to learn more about making actual desserts (and not just dessert-like breakfasts) that taste amazing but are actually healthy, check out my brand new healthy vegan baking course! I’ll even show you how to make mouthwatering strawberry shortcake without any butter, sugar, gluten or heavy cream ;)
Because I swapped some of the milk for yogurt, these overnight oats get super thick and creamy which makes them even more satisfying than your usual bowl of oatmeal. To make them even richer and more dessert like, I mixed in a tablespoon of cashew butter. You can use a different nut or seed butter if you like, I bet coconut butter would be heavenly here.
The extra vanilla and a generous dose of fresh strawberries just top things off and what you end up with is like strawberry shortcake batter with strawberries mixed in :) Now that right here is the perfect start of the day if you ask me.
Here’s the recipe. You can adjust the ingredients to make these oats completely gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, or sugar-free.

LEMON JASMINE TEA SMOOTHIE (DAIRY-FREE)
Lemon Jasmine Tea Smoothie (dairy-free) Tastes like spring with fruity and subtly sweet notes in a green smoothie!
This post was sponsored by Pique Tea Crystals, all opinions are my own.
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah... don't mind me, just listening to Bob Marley in the sun, sipping this delicious and refreshing Jasmine Tea Smoothie on a real-life Spring day. All is well right about now!
I have been drinking this new tea called Pique Tea Crystals and it essentially makes it impossible for you to have a bitter cup of tea. It's perfect every time because they crystalize a perfect cup of organic tea with filtered water and serve it up with no tea bags (less risk of BPA as well as gluten that is often used in tea bags). I was pretty intrigued after discovering it. Not only does it taste great but is SO HANDY for travel. I toss some in my purse and am set to go, and I need to pack lightly!!
Have you tried Jasmine Tea? I absolutely adore the elegant floral aroma you get the second your lips hit the mug. It's like you've already started to taste it and it's not even in your mouth yet! Mmmmm!
It also has a ton of health benefits, since it's a floral addition to green tea, you get all the green tea perks and then some. It reduces stress, improves the digestion process and eases inflammation like muscle aches and pains. Sounds like a great post-workout drink to me - and speaking of, check out the other ingredients of this smoothie:
Raw local honey to help with seasonal hay-fever and allergies (which is famous in the Springtime!)
Lemon packed with vitamin C
Fresh seasonal spinach which is full of basically everything else you could want or need (hello protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals)
Not to mention: Chia seeds for Omega 3's, a little banana for potassium and creamy coconut milk rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals like selenium and iron and more.
And then with a whiz of the blender, you have this super fresh and sunny drink.
SO Refreshing, the floral notes and delicate citrus flavors have to put a smile on your face. I think I'm going to be drinking Jasmine Tea a lot more often!
