Gluten-Free Overnight Oats with Chia, Psyllium & Turmeric

This Gluten-Free Overnight Oats with Chia, Psyllium and Turmeric recipe is an easy, no-cook way to fuel your day with whole-food ingredients. It’s loaded with fiber, plant-based protein, and gut-supportive additions like chia seeds, psyllium husk, and turmeric—all known for their roles in digestive health and inflammation support. Naturally creamy and satisfying, this make-ahead meal is ideal whether you’re powering through a workday, recovering post-workout, craving something wholesome or a guilt-free dessert.

Certified Gluten-Free Oats Matter

While oats are naturally gluten-free, they can easily become contaminated with gluten—not only during processing but also during farming. Oats are often grown in close proximity to wheat, barley, or rye fields, where cross-contact can occur through shared equipment, wind-blown seeds, or crop rotation.

Additionally, they’re frequently processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing grains, increasing the risk of contamination. To ensure this recipe is safe for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, always use certified gluten-free rolled oats. These oats are grown, harvested, transported, and processed using strict protocols to prevent gluten exposure, and they are routinely tested to meet rigorous gluten-free standards.

Why Add Psyllium Husk Powder

Psyllium husk powder is a powerhouse ingredient in this overnight oats recipe. Just a small amount adds a big boost of soluble fiber, which helps support healthy digestion, promote regularity, and keep you feeling fuller longer.

It also acts as a natural thickening agent, giving the oats a smooth, creamy, pudding-like texture without changing the flavor. This makes your breakfast more satisfying—and more gut-friendly—without any fuss.

If you’re new to psyllium, start with 1 teaspoon as in this recipe. It’s gentle and effective, and pairs perfectly with the fiber already found in oats and chia seeds.
