Here I share my favourite vegan recipes that are not only delicious, but they are vibrant, wholesome and designed to nourish you from the inside out with vegan and vegan curious followers.
Thick and creamy, these Coconut Water Overnight Oats are an ideal meal prep breakfast made with a handful of ingredients in about 5 minutes. They are naturally dairy-free, easily gluten-free and high in fibre.
Overnight oats are always a good idea to prepare for a quick and easy breakfast, and this recipe is so simple. You only need a few ingredients, and they are ready in no time at all – plus they are naturally a great source of fibre and have a good amount of protein from the chia seeds. I love serving these with some fresh berries and nuts, but other fruits like banana and mango would also work really well. The coconut water makes these oats so refreshing while still being thick and creamy.

What ingredients do I need?
You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.
For the oats:
Rolled oats: make sure they are GF where needed.
Chia seeds: these allow the oats to turn really thick and creamy while adding protein and fibre.
Desiccated coconut: for more coconutty flavour and texture.
Coconut cream: I use the Natures Charm coconut whipping cream which is so thick and creamy here. You can use other coconut creams or use thick coconut yoghurt.
Coconut water: this is the pure young coconut water from Natures Charm and it’s so good. It does not contain any added ingredients and is naturally hydrating and a great source of electrolytes.
Berries, nuts and seeds: or your favourite toppings.

Are these gluten-free and nut-free?
These are easily GF as long as you use gluten-free oats and to keep them nut-free, do not add nuts on top.
