Social media has long been flooded with recipes for overnight oats and other similar grain and seed dishes. This breakfast treat is made with chia seeds, which are backed by nutritionists and health experts as energy boosting and great for overall body function. A growing number of Muslims are also turning to them during Ramadan, eating chia-based dishes before fasting to keep fuller for longer.
