What Are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are as simple as they sound. You take some rolled oats and combine them with a few other ingredients, like almond milk and chia seeds, and let the oats soak in the fridge overnight. That’s it! The oats absorb the liquid and soften, so in the morning you have a delicious, creamy, and nutritious breakfast ready to go.
Since overnight oats do not require any cooking, they are a no-fuss, quick and easy way to prepare breakfast. This makes them the perfect option for busy mornings and family life when you’re running behind and need something to grab and go.
In our household we make them on a weekly basis!
The Benefits of Overnight Oats
One of the greatest benefits of making overnight oats is that they are a great source of fiber, and are a heart-healthy and satiating breakfast option. Oats are also a source of beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.
Additionally, overnight oats are a good source of important vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, potassium, and B-vitamins. They are also a great source of plant-based protein, making them an incredibly filling and nourishing meal.
So there you have it: our delicious and easy plant-based overnight oats recipe. It is the perfect breakfast option for busy mornings, and is packed with nutrition. We hope you give it a try soon and enjoy it as much as we do!
