Peaches and Cream Chia Overnight Oats Recipe
I’m usually of the opinion that Monday’s blow, but this particular Monday is probably the saddest day of the year for the kids of the Charlotte school system. While, I’m sure I’m hearing cries of joy from all the parents, I’m fairly certain the kids are primarily feeling gloom and doom for the end of carefree summer days and all things fun to the return to school. Kids, you have my sympathy.
I’m a bit late to the back to school recipe party due to my involuntary 28 day abstinence from all things internet, blog, social media, and the outside world thanks to Microsoft totally blowing up my computer with its stupid forced Windows 10 update and the ongoing aftermath plethora of technical problems. I think I should be compensated with unlimited new computers and software for life. Who’s with me?
Even though Microsoft and back to school can both totally suck it, we’re still lucky enough to have an abundance of sunshine and summer produce. I’m not ready to give up summer yet and even though the kiddos may be stuck in a classroom until Thanksgiving break, they can start out their days with some Peaches and Cream Chia Overnight Oats. This is such an easy make ahead grab and go breakfast, it’s a win for mom or dad and/or the kids can practically make it themselves.
Don’t like peaches? No judgments. Use strawberries, or blueberries, or cherries, or some kind of berry combo. The chia seeds help with an interesting texture and pudding consistency, but if that’s not your jam, just leave them out and it will still be delicious, but not quite as thick. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup for the agave. You can double it up so there is enough to pack for the kids to take to school and for you to pack for work. Moms and dads should start out the day right too.
Don’t worry kids, the time will fly and before you know it Christmas will be here!

I was looking at coconut milk at the store yesterday and didn’t pick it up. Now I’m cursing that decision. I’d love to have this for breakfast tomorrow! But I will soon enough! This sounds and looks so yummy…I’m loving the colors here… Delicious!!
I was talking to Boy about your computer situation and I said, “Don’t you feel like she should be compensated with a new computer for free? I mean they forced the update!” So clearly my thinking is on par with yours! FREE COMPUTERS FOR RACH! We should make signs and protest. 😉 Anywhos, I LOVE peaches and cream and chia seeds, so these overnight oats are looking mighty fine to me! I have plans to purchase ALL the peaches from the local farm before they disappear so I will have to make this with my supply! SO YUM! Pinned! Cheers, chicka! And good luck with the computer!!! xoxo
You should have an apple computer than you don’t have to deal with Microsoft. Computers are stupid but this overnight oats recipe sure isn’t! YUMMMO!! I could eat this every day for breakfast and every night for dessert. I’m loving peaches right now (along with everyone else in this country) so I’m making this ASAP 🙂
It’s so crappy about your unfortunate computer situation, but at least you’re up and running now, right 😉 I can’t believe the kiddos are soon going back to school. Seems like yesterday they were off for Summer and I literally can’t believe you just said soon it will be Christmas. Uber excited over here 😀 😀 eeeeeek!!!
Ok, these oats! Love overnight oats and particularly love the use of coconut milk in your recipe. Me and coconut milk get along just fine. Great stuff! Pinned!
Hope you have a great week and before you know it, it’ll be Friday 😉
Yes, Microsoft can totally suck it! But I’m still too stubborn to move to a Mac. I know how to use Windows, darn it all. But then again, if they keep changing it (and keep blowing up my computer every time), then I might just need to go for it. I do think Microsoft owes us new computers (and I’m not kidding about that one bit)!
But let’s switch gears to something awesome. No, not the first day of Latin class (although that is indeed awesome). These overnight oats! I love the peach addition in there. It’s like summers meets fall meets delicious! 🙂
I was just telling a friend yesterday that I am craving to have peach with chia and oats. And here you are with this super east super delicious and so pretty recipe. I wish I could have this for breakfast tomorrow morning. Luckily I have coconut milk in my pantry so I can try this today! 🙂
haha I am still partial to Microsoft, after all my husband works for it 😉 lol that aside love these oats, peaches and cream is always a winner!
I can’t believe that summer is pretty much over now (where has it gone??). But, I am still hanging on to it by eating over night oats and peaches, but why have I not put them together yet? I have to try these before summer is over.
Welcome back by the way 🙂
I love overnight oats with chia, actually I eat it almost everyday for breakfast:) Great recipe!:)
The first day of school was one of the saddest days for me!! But it would’ve been so much better if my day started with these oats! I love this flavor combo 🙂
