Gentle Banana Chia Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are about as low-effort as breakfast gets, and this version is built with a sensitive stomach in mind from the start. Mashed banana sweetens the whole jar naturally, chia seeds add a little fiber and thickness, and lactose-free milk keeps things dairy-gentle without changing the texture much at all.

There's no citrus, no raw onion, nothing fermented beyond the oats themselves softening overnight — just a calm, predictable bowl waiting in the fridge by morning. The banana and small amount of chia used here keep this comfortably within reflux- and IBS-friendly territory.

Stir it together the night before, and by morning you'll have a thick, spoonable breakfast that needs nothing more than a few fresh banana slices on top. It keeps well in the fridge for up to two days.
