What are overnight oats ? Overnight oats is when you soak oatmeal in liquid such as milk, making it no-cook oatmeal. Instead of having to cook your oats, you can actually eat them raw by soaking them in milk or water for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Here are some health benefits of overnight oats:
100% Whole grains: oatmeal is a whole grain and a nutritious way to start your morning.
Fiber-packed: per serving, oatmeal has 4g fiber.
On-the-go breakfast: prep your overnight oats in a jar or meal-prep container and take it with you.
Meal prep: double or triple a batch of overnight oatmeal and you’ll have breakfast ready all week long.
Lower in sugar: Our healthy overnight oats recipes are made with all-natural sweeteners and fruit.
