It’s no secret on this blog that I am a big fan of vegan overnight oats. Can you blame me? In summer it’s too warm to eat anything hot. You can make your oats in the same bowl you eat it in (less clean up). I also load my oats with fruits that provide a great punch of nutrition to start my morning.
I’m convinced the most anti-vegan omnivores would devour this for breakfast. It’s what convinced me that I didn’t need dairy or g

Today’s version of the vegan overnight oats follows the independence day theme by incorporating red cherries, blue berries and white coconut.
I guess the white banana in the mix could also qualify as the white in the mix.
Because I love vegan overnight oats so much that I sometimes eat oats as breakfast, lunch and breakfast again, I sometimes makes my oats in a bigger container. This one should serve at least 3 or 4 meals.

I was so excited about eating this VOO, but I also wanted to have my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for breakfast.
It was a bit of a dilemma. Soft tender mushy VOO, or crispy crunchy granola like crisp…
Dilemma solved:
Seriously someone should give me an advice column or something.
The tart flavor of the rhubarb went well with the tart cherries, and the crunchy almonds in the crisp kept the textures distinct.
What is your favorite breakfast lately?
I'm an engineer, an animal lover, a runner and an ex-rower. I like medical devices, big ships and mountains. This is my journey teaching myself to make healthy foods and explore the world of vegan and vegetarian cuisine.
YUMMM!!! I love how ‘pretty’ you can make VOO photos!! These look good!! I’m actually eating my basic recipe of VOO now!!
I want all your breakfasts! And my oats with coconut never look nearly as nice (although they do taste rather good). Gotta add some cherries, that sound tooo delicious.
This looks delicious! I actually just tried chia seeds in my VOO this morning, thanks to finding your blog yesterday before grocery shopping. Super tasty and they definitely thickened the oats – something I definitely needed.
Have you tried toasting the coconut in a dry skillet before adding it to your VOO? Not only does it taste brilliant, but then your kitchen smells like toasted coconut. Yum!
Gwen, you are brilliant! I will absolutely try this next time I have coconut VOO.
