So damn refreshing

Pineapple has to be one the most refreshing fruits. It has to be fresh, super ripe and then your guaranteed that juiciness that dribbles down your chin no matter how hard you try to avoid it, the finger licking taste that is completely irresistible and inevitably results in you having a hell of lot less pineapple to work with due to eating copious amounts of it as you slice and dice.

Or is that just me finds the seductiveness of pineapple to much from my fruity loving tastebuds to resist?

Luckily enough I manage to set aside enough to make these fruity refreshing tropical overnight oats and if there is one fruit that works incredibly well with pineapple like no other it’s passionfruit. The intense flavour makes for an incredible smoothie and damn refreshing bowl of oats!

In the overnight mix went banana, pineapple oats, buckwheat groats (because

overnight oats just wouldn’t be the same without them), coconut, brazils and some currants…

All mixed up with some boiling water to get the soakage on and then served up chilled with almond milk. It was a dreamy bowlful. Super refreshing, zingy, fruity, yet creamy and indulgent all at the same time.

I love my overnight oats with bit of chew and texture but they have to have a bit of creaminess too. It’s a hard balance to get just right but banana in the oats overnight make for the perfect consistency once mashed through in the morning before serving.

Having overnight oats ready in the fridge for quick handy grab and go breakfast never gets old. I love mixing it up with different mix ins and now that it’s officially the summer season I feel it’s my duty to try out some new fruity creamy combinations.

Needless to say there will be lots more overnight oats over the coming weeks!
