It's hard to find a breakfast that's healthy, tastes good, and doesn't take up half of your morning. Overnight oats are the perfect solution: Easy, quick, and filling. Lo Bosworth of The Alternative presents a gluten and dairy-free recipe that can get you hooked on this healthy breakfast craze!
Overnight oats are an extremely popular healthy choice, because they’re easy to prepare and delicious to eat. You can make these right before you go to bed and wake up in the morning to a sweet treat! Oats are high in resistant starch, which means your oats will keep you full for longer than other high-carb breakfasts like bagels or pancakes, and leaving them in milk overnight makes them easy to digest!
