This carrot and coconut breakfast bowl is just an other super easy and quick idea. It is a chia and oat mixture soaked overnight in coconut milk and carrot juice spiced up with cinnamon, peanut butter and a few slices of banana. That’s it, a sweet, filling, simple and delicious breakfast.
I don’t know what happened in the last year, but I really enjoy a good sweet breakfast nowadays. I used to absolutely hate it, just the idea of it made me sick. Now I love my porridges, chia puddings, milkshakes and of course smoothies….times change, I guess.
Fun fact: This recipe is basically the sweet breakfast version of this soup. Isn’t it cool? I love ingredients which are great in savory and sweet dishes as well! I highly recommend you to try it out, I can promise you, the lovely orange color will make your day start wonderful.

This looks amazing! I simply love breakfast 😀
Me too, but I am just lazy in the mornings, so I need something quick (or somebody who is not lazy :D)
What is “oat”? Oatmeal? It looks gorgeous but I wish I knew if it’s oatmeal…
Oat is what oatmeal is made of. You can use for this recipe any type of oats, for example old fashioned oats or rolled oats 🙂
You’ve outdone yourself Evi! This is so creative, beautiful, and healthy!!! I’m going to make some carrot juice and try this tomorrow morning. 🙂
Thank you so much, Linda!
I really love carrot juice, I think it’s such great start of the day.
Perfect! I’ve been eating chia seeds vary day for a month now. Need ned recipes and this one is great ! Will try it!
Thanks, Mira! I hope you’ll like it 🙂
What a great breakfast bowl! I have to make this for tomorrow morning – interesting idea using carrot!
Thanks, Thalia!
I love carrot and carrot juice, I often use them in my smoothies, so why not in my porridge or chia pudding? 🙂
What a great idea for breakfast! I have a hard time eating, especially sweet things, in the early morning but love them later in the day- like 10ish! This and a giant cup of tea sound so lovely! Pinned!
Thanks, Alex!
That is exactly how it started with me…since I was a child I didn’t like sweet things at all, then I started to eat them occasionally as afternoon snack, and now I am also eating sweet breakfasts, let’s say once a week. Totally weird 😀
Perfect idea, and the colour – omg! 🙂
Listen how can I replace chia? In my country it is very expensive!
Hey Sara,
unfortunately chia seeds are expensive here too, but you need actually a tiny amount, so if you buy some it will last for a long time!
I am not sure you how can substitute chia seeds, it has a pretty unique texture and neutral taste. It won’t be the exact same, but you can just simply leave out the chia, overnight oats are delicious too! Or if you’d like to have the gel texture, you can add a bit of agar agar.
I hope I could help you 🙂
It helped! I will try it tomorrow. Thanks 🙂
Wow, I really love all kind of overnight oats and porridge and I hate carrot juice….but this is really tasty (also as porrdige). Thanks for this inspiration! 🙂
I am so glad to hear this, thank you so much!!! 🙂
Finally bought some carrot juice and made this for breakfast. Yum!
Carrot juice is one of my favourite breakfasts 🙂
I hope you liked it!
Great and tasty idea. Question please: Do you make your own carrot juice or buy it at the store? Which one would you recommend?
Thank you 😉
Hi Paola,
Sometimes I make my own when I have way too much carrots at home, other times I just buy one in a supermarket. I don’t have a preferred brand though, usually I’m just happy if I find one without honey 🙂
If you live in Germany Alnatura and Demeter both have a delicious carrot juice without honey, I can recommend you those. Unfortunately I don’t know the juice brands in other countries…
