Coffee Coconut Chia oats makes for a superfood breakfast with a morning kick start!
Coffee combined into breakfast that's dairy, sugar and gluten free! Doesn't get any better in my book. Oh wait it does, how about make once, no cooking required and eat twice, HA!! Even better right?!!
Refrigerator oats may never have been on your menu before and maybe you think cold oats won't work for you, but you gotta try this at least once before deciding folks. It's a super simple way to enjoy oats, especially in the warmer months of the year. When I was asked to sample some new coffee for Keurig Green Mountain, I jumped at the chance. As you know I am a coffee lover!
AND today is actually the first day of Spring and a with a new season comes a new Spring inspired flavor of coffee, Island Coconut!!

Now on to my new Coconut Inspired Recipe.....
Brenda's Recipe Tidbits:
- You can use vanilla liquid stevia if you don't have coconut, but I highly recommend the coconut flavor since it pairs so well with the coffee. I purchase through iherb.com and my discount code is YAJ035.
- I think you could use quick oats although the rolled oats will keep the mixture less mushy, unless you like mushy. 🙂
- Do not eliminate the chia seeds as that is needed to gel the mixture overnight.
- You could sub the coconut milk for any other milk of choice.
- You can use any coffee you like, but obviously the flavor my combo provides is quite amazing...... just saying. 🙂

I love the spring flowers...especially the yellow ones! Spring beauty is so uplifting. I don't own a Keurig but would sure love to have one!

Spring is why we live in Arizona!! When the rest of the country is still digging out from under all that snow, we are walking and biking in shorts and t-shirts.. the grills are already working, and the coffee is being poured (Keurig coffee if I win this raffle!!!)
