Chia begins taking up liquid as soon as it meets the milk and skyr, so a thorough initial mix matters. Any dry oats caught around the sides or clumps of chia can set unevenly during the eight-hour chill. The finished base should be thick throughout, not watery at the bottom with a dense layer on top.
BreakfastPeach and Skyr Overnight Oats with Hemp and Almonds
Creamy skyr and milk soften the oats overnight, while chia gives the base a thick, spoonable texture. Sliced peaches, hemp seeds, and almonds add fresh sweetness and a clean crunch just before serving.
Ingredients
Preparation Steps
Mix the oat base
Whisk the milk, plain skyr, and chia seeds in a large container until smooth. Stir in the oats and half of the hemp seeds, scraping the sides so no dry oats remain.
Chill overnight
Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, until the oats are tender and the mixture is thick throughout.
Add the fruit and crunch
Divide the overnight oats between bowls. Top with sliced peaches, almonds, and the remaining hemp seeds.

Chia Hydration and a Smooth Set
Almond Crunch at Serving
The chilled oat mixture is meant to be soft, which makes the sliced almonds useful rather than decorative. Keep them separate until the bowls are served: stored in the oat base, they lose their crisp texture. Adding the peaches and remaining hemp seeds at the same point also keeps the toppings distinct from the creamy base.
Store in the fridge
Store the portions in airtight containers in the fridge. Since this makes a lot, keep them chilled and eat them within the appropriate safe storage period; otherwise, let the fridge become the place where good intentions go to die.
