These Vegan Blood Orange Overnight Oats are an easy weekday breakfast that will keep you full and healthy.

In time you learn (or learn again) which products you like, which you tolerate, and which are an absolute no-go for you. It’s difficult to alter one’s diet, especially when forced to, but the beauty is that today there are really great alternatives out there… and also some crappy ones.

But perhaps the point is not in trying to find the perfect substitute, but rather to learn about a whole new range of flavors out there. So I learned I really dislike hazelnut milk in my morning coffee, but love some vanilla-flavored soy milk (I especially like the Provamel brand as far as taste and texture go). I remember from my short visit to the States that I also liked the brand Silk, and it’s a bit sad that I can’t get their products here.

So while I’m staying dairy-free I made these pretty and delicious Vegan Blood Orange Overnight Oats with coconut flavored rice milk, topped them with some frozen berries, too and added a teaspoon of strawberry jam for sweetness…. pure bliss! Being dairy-free actually is not that bad at all. Of course, you could make these oats with regular milk as well, or other types of dairy-free alternatives.
