Overnight oats are not only a quick and convenient breakfast but are also rich in nutrients. Porridge oats provide a good source of fibre, which aids digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer. Additionally, they contain B vitamins that support concentration and memory. At this time of year, it's worth adding strawberries, which are also packed with nutritional value.

How to prepare overnight oats?

Preparing overnight oats is very straightforward. In the evening, simply mix porridge oats with milk or a plant-based drink, and you can also add your favourite nuts or seeds. Then, put it in the fridge. In the morning, the oats are ready to eat, and you can enhance their flavour with fruit, honey, or maple syrup.

Why you should opt for overnight oats

Regularly consuming overnight oats can provide many health benefits. The beta-glucan present in oats supports the immune system and helps maintain proper cholesterol levels. Additionally, overnight oats are easy to digest and don't burden the stomach, making them an excellent choice for breakfast.
