"Sisters but not twins, chia seed pudding and overnight oats offer convenient, nutrition-forward, make-ahead options for a fueling breakfast during busy mornings. Both dishes consist of dry ingredients hydrated in a dairy component to become texturally soft, rich, and creamy. But, just as each dish provides its own tasting profile and mouthfeel, each also comes with its own respective health benefits. When it comes to nutrition, overnight oats win for protein and chia seed pudding wins for fiber."
"The FDA recommends a daily intake of at least 50 grams of protein and 28 grams of fiber every day for adults. On the breakfast table, protein doesn't have to mean meaty bacon. Discerning home cooks can add protein to their favorite plant-based breakfasts with a little nutritional know-how. Enter: Overnight oats. In addition to protein, many modern foodies are also looking to incorporate more fiber into their daily diets. Enter: Chia seed pudding."
Chia seed pudding and overnight oats are make-ahead breakfasts formed by hydrating dry ingredients in a dairy or dairy-alternative base until soft and creamy. Overnight oats tend to deliver higher protein, while chia seed pudding delivers higher fiber. Typical nutrition estimates show overnight oats at about 24 grams protein and 5 grams fiber per serving, and chia seed pudding at roughly 17.4 grams protein and 20 grams fiber. The FDA recommends about 50 grams of protein and 28 grams of fiber daily for adults. Simple ingredient swaps like soy milk or Greek yogurt can boost protein content.
