You may prepare these overnight oats for the whole week or the day before you want to have. You can do a lot of variations with the same recipe that are endless.

Contrary to popular belief, overnight oats have a blend of health benefits for the body and work wonders for weight loss.

Oats are a versatile breakfast food that can be tweaked to taste as the consumer desires. It tastes just as brilliant with fruits as it does with some salt and spices. Another aspect that enhances the fitness credibility of oats is soaking them overnight for consumption the next day.

When soaked overnight, the starch present in the oats is naturally broken down and more nutrients are absorbed by the oats through the period of soaking, the acid present in the oats also breaks down overnight and this results in better digestion. Due to its soggy texture, it is much easier to consume in the morning.

To make it more healthy you can add seeds like pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds etc. So basically you can customize this recipe according to your preference and dietary needs.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED FOR OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE?

1. Oats: This is really the only ingredient that’s non-negotiable. Make sure to use plain old-fashioned oats and not quick oats because the consistency is best with rolled oats.
2. Milk: For the liquid part, you can actually make this with water! But it’s more common to use milk. You can low fat or full fat milk. You can also use plant-based milk like almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or oat milk.
3. Chia Seeds (optional): These seeds are packed with tons of nutrition, and they help give the oats a pudding-like texture. So I always like to include them in my base recip.
4. Sweetener (optional): Use honey or maple syrup to sweeten the mixture, especially because oats can be somewhat bland on their own.
