Overnight Soaked Oats Serving Fresh Seasonal Fruits
In a rush in the mornings but don't want to compromise on a balanced breakfast? Look no further than overnight oats! Whip this up the night before, and you'll have a delicious, nutritious meal ready to grab-and-go.
Greek yogurt adds protein, important for muscle function and satiety. Oats, rich in fiber, support digestive health and can help lower cholesterol levels. Summer fruits like strawberries, peaches, and blueberries are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber.
Mix it all up before bed in a bowl or jar with milk, chia seeds, honey, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate overnight, and in the morning, you can serve it with sliced summer fruits or mix them in for an extra boost of flavor and nutrients.
If you're looking for something savory to pair with your overnight oats, try these Breakfast Sausage Sweet Potato Muffins or an Orange Frothy. Save time by prepping them ahead of time or squeezing the orange juice the night before. Both go great with your overnight oats!
