Recipe:
A big bowl of oatmeal is a great way to start your day, but who has time to cook a pot of oats every morning? Overnight oats are prepared in advance so all you have to do in the morning is grab a spoon and enjoy!
Oats are rich in filling fiber to keep you satisfied for hours. A combination of soy milk and soy yogurt creates the perfect creamy custard-like consistency and provides protein and calcium, which are essential for beautiful posture, strong nails, and a sparkling smile.
This overnight oats recipe incorporates antioxidant-rich blueberries and omega-3 rich hemp seeds. Matcha, a form of powdered green tea, is rich in the antioxidant EGCG, a plant compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
