Seeking a healthier wholesome lifestyle helps in so many ways. And we can inspire our family by including registered dietitian-approved lunchboxes, snacks and easy weeknight dinners featuring fresh produce. Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and decide to buy snacks or food options that are not the best. But making easy recipes like the overnight chia and oats allows for time, as we can prepare a day in advance. And even include the kids in the preparation process.

To make it more fun this overnight chia and oats I have packaged in a nice recycled glass container and decorated with Valentine’s motifs. I opted for red and gold accents to present it as a present. Adding this beautiful container to the lunchbox really makes the difference because we are showing our kids and hubby we love them.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 persimmon
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate jewels
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 pieces of honeycomb

Instructions
 

  • Use two recycled containers or mason jars and add first the oats and then the chia seeds. Add the milk and sweeten with honey. Close the container and place inside the fridge. Let the chia and the oats soak overnight.
  • Prepare the fruit by peeling and slicing the persimmon and also by mashing some of the persimmon to make a puree. The pomegranate jewels you can use fresh or frozen. Cut few pieces of honeycomb and set aside.
  • Take out of the fridge the overnight chia and oats. Open the container and with a spoon make pockets to be able to add the fruit.
  • Add first the persimmon rounds, one per side. Then top with persimmon puree and add the pomegranate. Top with pieces of honeycomb. Close and decorate with ribbon and a napkin.
  • Keep the container in the fridge and when ready to pack the lunchbox include an ice pack to preserve the temperature and avoid spoilage.

Notes

The pomegranate jewels you can use fresh or frozen. What I do is I buy enough pomegranates, remove the seeds and then freeze for many uses and enjoy after season is over.Ā  Enjoy the overnight pats for breakfast, as a snack or for dessert.
