What are Overnight Oats recipes anyway

If you paid attention in English class, you can easily translate the word and already know its meaning. The name reveals that it is a meal with oatmeal.

To be precise, a meal with oatmeal from the refrigerator. Overnight Oats recipes are prepared the day before and can swell overnight in the refrigerator.

So if you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and thus have little time for breakfast, you'll love Overnight Oats.

Overnight Oats recipes are a cross between porridge from England and the old familiar oatmeal. However, while the two come out of the pot, Overnight Oats are simply taken out of the refrigerator.

Delicious fruit, nuts and spices make this healthy breakfast idea really tasty. We are sure: This can convince even the biggest oatmeal skeptic.

Because the oatmeal is only the base, when you mix it, there is not much left of the actual taste. So, do not be afraid of oatmeal :)

What are the benefits of overnight oats?

1. you can stay in bed longer

Those who make Overnight Oats themselves avoid artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. Homemade Overnight Oats recipes are rich in vitamins, minerals, healthy fat and protein. But sugar free for that. :)

There is hardly a breakfast that keeps you full for so long, is healthy and is also easy on the wallet. Since the flakes swell up, you don't need many of them to get full.

Cocoa powder*? Cinnamon*? Cloves? Nuts? Go for whatever you fancy. Depending on your preference, you can also prepare vegan overnight oats.

So the healthy breakfast will never be boring. Especially much taste and variety brings the fruit for which you decide.

Overnight Oats taste just as good in winter as they do in summer.
