Easy Overnight Oats

Easy Overnight Oats

overnight-oats-hero

Overnight oats are an overnight sensation! Many who spent their childhood slurping up bowls of artificially-flavored instant mixes have turned to a decidedly more adult (but no less fun) incarnation of this breakfast classic. The little bit of patience required to make overnight oats pays off big in terms of delectability and nutritional value.

Are Overnight Oats a Weight Loss Food?

At Clean, we love oats and even their unique dietary fiber. Quality oats can increase our body’s production of hormones that control appetite. Furthermore, several studies have looked at the connection between oats and insulin. Oats can increase sensitivity to insulin which is beneficial for those suffering from Type 2 Diabetes.

Left unchecked, insulin resistance can cause fluctuations in metabolism and can lead to diabetes and heart disease. For Diabetics or anyone looking to control blood sugar and cravings, overnight oats are a great alternative to processed instant oats that can be hard on the body, spike blood sugar, and cause us to gain weight.

The Nutritional Benefits of Overnight Oats

Compared to sugary cereals, overnight oats are a gold mine of nutritional value. Not only do they keep us feeling fuller, longer — they can give us an energy boost to squeeze in morning Activity or get through a marathon meeting at the office.

Oats are high minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and selenium as well as certain antioxidants that fight free radicals that, along with their unique fiber, can help lower your risk of heart disease.

Swap in your favorite ingredients and superfoods to make a version that’s perfect for you. We suggest doubling or quadrupling this recipe for a big batch of make-ahead healthy breakfasts that you can grab-and-go during the weekday for a delicious nutritional boost.
