I’ve been meaning to try overnight oats for a while but never got around to it even though it looks so easy. Well, I finally tried it last night and had my test subjects (husband and kids) taste it in the AM – they loved it! They had a fun time adding in their fruit toppings – flavors ranged from Chocolate Raspberry, Strawberry Coconut, Blueberry Granola, and Blackberry Almond!
These are great for those hectic mornings when you’re on the go and have no time to prepare breakfast. They also make an excellent Suhoor during Ramadan. All you do is mix the ingredients together the night before, let it soak overnight, and eat it in the morning! Simple, nutritious, versatile, and portable – give these overnight oats a try!
