Overnight Oats
This is a great recipe to beat the morning rush. Soak your oats the night before and enjoy a healthy breakfast at home or on the go in the morning
Soaking your grains and seeds will reduce their phytic acid content, which will make them easier to digest and improve their nutritional benefits. The soaking process is like a long cooking that will enhance the flavours and give your oats a nice silky texture.
The base recipe for any overnight oats is a combination of a grain, a liquid, a seed and some sweetness. Try this recipe and play around to create your own variation.
