What Should I Eat For Breakfast When Busy?
On my busiest days I make sure my breakfast has 3 essentials:
- PROTEIN
Having a large amount of protein for breakfast gives my body instant energy and a brain boost! Quality protein keeps me fuller for longer, too, making it a perfect choice for breakfast. - HEALTHY FATS
Fat isn’t your enemy. In fact, healthy fats are one of the ways I keep migraines away on my low carb days. Plus, Omega-3 fats reduce inflammation, reduce cholesterol and support positive heart health. - FIBER
Whole grains with insoluble fiber tell your body that you’re full, rather quickly. If you tend to overeat, adding fiber for breakfast is essential to help you avoid any extra calories your body doesn’t need.
- PROTEIN

In case you found yourself here looking for OMAD healthy meal ideas, this recipe doubled has 38g Protein, 39g Healthy Fats and 17g Fiber. Whoa!
Is Chia Seeds And Oatmeal Healthy?
Chia seeds are a good source of calcium and plant-based protein. They are a great choice to add Omega-3 Fats to your breakfast. Oatmeal is also high in calcium, good carbs, fiber and protein. Is chia and oatmeal healthy? YES! Pair these two together and you’ve got yourself a powerhouse couple, made in healthy food heaven!

Powerhouse Healthy Overnight Oats Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl Will Give You Energy!
If you are looking to get a boost of energy first thing in the morning, definitely eat a hearty, healthy breakfast. This recipe I’m about to share will definitely do the trick! The quadruple combination of protein, heathy fats, fiber and good carbohydrates all play a vital role in overall energy. Because I feel really great when I thoughtfully prepare meals paying close attention to macros, I make this recipe for myself at least twice a week. I truly love it.
Can Instant Oats Be Used For Overnight Oats?
YES, you can use instant oats to make overnight oats! Not only that, instant oats tend to help with easier fiber and grain digestion. Usually I will add regular fast-cooking instant oats to my mason jars when making overnight oats, however, I ran out. Only having the low sugar Maple and Brown Sugar pre-made individual instant oatmeal packets left in my pantry, I decided to give it a try. I’m happy to report that it worked out really well and added that boost of sugar and flavor to the overall meal. Definitely give both types of instant oats a try when making overnight oats!
Overnight Oats How To For This Recipe :
- Maple And Brown Sugar, Low Sugar Individual Instant Oatmeal Packet, emptied into a small mason jar like this one from my SHOP page.
- Add filtered water to the mason jar, on top of the oatmeal, and stop when theres a small amount of water sitting on top of the oatmeal.
- Add lid and close it tightly.
- Shake the shit out of the oats and water combination until completely combined.
- Remove lid and add in 1 tablespoon of organic chia seeds.
- Add the lid back to the mason jar.
- Give the jar another great shake or three to combine the chia, oats and water.
- Toss it in the fridge for 24 hours before adding your toppings.
What Breakfast Will Keep Me Full?
My Powerhouse Healthy Overnight Oats Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl, of course! If you want to make this recipe even healthier, swap the sugar-filled peanut butter with my favorite nut butter.

And let me know in the comments if you make this recipe and if it helped with a full tummy and energized vibe.
Powerhouse Healthy Overnight Oats Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl OMAD Idea
I’ve been participating in one meal a day intermittent fasting so the photo of this recipe is what I eat on high carb, breakfast themed meal plan days. This Powerhouse Healthy Overnight Oats Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl Recipe is technically divided into two servings because it’s super filling and perfect for breakfast when you’re not trying to eat all your daily allotted calories in one hour. However, if you are looking to give OMAD a try, double up for a cool 733 calorie plant-based healthy breakfast. I’m obsessed with this recipe.

I use this Vegan Plant Based Protein Shake Powder
The Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Duo is what I use daily, to mix ingredients.
How To Make Overnight Oats using an individual sized oatmeal packet:
Add one packet of instant oats and filtered water from my Berkey to a tiny mason jar. Close the lid tightly and shake it up vigorously! Make sure the contents of the prepared oats packet is mixed well. Take off the lid and add in the chia seeds. Place the lid back on, closing it tightly. Give the mason jar another good shake and put it in the fridge for 24 hours.
If you are short on time and don't want to make overnight oats, prepare the instant oatmeal per the instructions on the back of the packet, using filtered water. Then add the hot oatmeal to your blender, along with the other ingredients. This is a really delicious way to make this breakfast bowl, too.
If you want to make this breakfast bowl even healthier swap out regular creamy peanut butter with a nut butter like this one. I ran out and only had the creamy left in my pantry. Shh! Don't tell my teenagers that I stole some of their beloved peanut butter, ok?
Are you into OMAD and IF? Only use one bowl and keep the base mixture and all of the toppings for yourself (like I did in the photo) for an incredibly healthy big breakfast meal!
