Horchata Overnight Oats with Cherry Almond Chia Muesli & Granuesli®
If you’ve ever sipped an ice-cold horchata on a hot day and thought, this could be breakfast, you’re in the right place. Inspired by the creamy, cinnamon-spiced drink we all know and love, this no-cook recipe turns our Cherry Almond Chia Muesli into a dreamy, chilled breakfast bowl that’s just the right amount of indulgent.
Made with rice milk, maple syrup, and a touch of vanilla, it channels everything we love about horchata — sweet, cozy, and a little nostalgic — but with the added staying power of oats, chia, and almonds. And just when you think it can’t get better, we crown it with a crunchy layer of Cherry Almond Hemp Granuesli® for the perfect contrast.
It’s refreshing, comforting, and satisfying all at once. Like horchata, but make it breakfast.
