Overnight Oats

Written By Adriana Wilde

Overnight oats are a great easy recipe to meal prep to eat on the go in the morning. It is packed with fiber which is essential for your gut microbiome, healthy fats to help your body absorb essential vitamins, and calcium to keep your bones strong. You can vary this recipe with whatever you’d like as I have provided the baseline for the oats. Add whatever toppings to make this a yummier meal for you. This recipe can be made for one person or if this feels like too much, feel free to start off with half a portion. Always make sure to listen to your own hunger cues as you eat.
