Love oatmeal but oatmeal doesn’t love you back? Try soaking your oats in coconut yogurt overnight. The live, active cultures from yogurt help make oats more digestible and thus easier on sensitive tummies.
This recipe may be gentle on the belly but don’t let it fool ya – it packs some serious nutrition.
- Oats contain B vitamins, fiber, protein, magnesium, iron, and potassium.
- Chia seeds provide fiber, magnesium, potassium, manganese, omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, iron, complete proteins, and B vitamins.
- Coconut yogurt provides you with probiotics to support your immune system and healthy fats to fuel your brain.
- Unsweetened almond milk contains twice the amount of calcium as dairy milk, plus it doesn’t contain the blood, pus, cholesterol, carcinogens and hormones that dairy milk contains.
Overnight oats are also great because they are super easy to prep and perfect for those busy, on-the go mornings. Plus you can spruce it up with any spices or flavorings to suit your mood, season or craving!
