Almond & Raspberry Overnight Oats Benefits
Inspired by the traditional English cake, these overnight oats are packed with antioxidants and calcium. Let’s look at the benefits of some of the ingredients:
Rolled Oats
Rolled oats create a filling and creamy base for your overnight oats. They’re packed with fibre and complex carbs which provide long-lasting energy and help keep you fuller for longer. These mighty oats are a great way to kickstart your day on a nutritious note.
Almond Milk
Almond milk, with its subtle nuttiness, pairs beautifully with the flavors of raspberries and almonds. It’s a dairy-free alternative that adds a touch of indulgence to your oats. Most almond milks are fortified with vitamins and minerals so you’ll get a solid dose of nutrients too.
Raspberries
Fresh raspberries bring a vibrant and tangy flavor to this overnight oats recipe. These little powerhouses are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fibre, making them a nutritious addition to your breakfast bowl. They add a vibrant pop of colour too!
Honey
Drizzle a touch of natural sweetness over your oats – honey complements the tartness of the raspberries and adds a delicate sweetness to your oats. It’s also associated with a number of health benefits, such as soothing properties and antioxidant content.
Sliced Almonds
Add a delightful crunch to your oats with a sprinkle of sliced almonds. These nutty gems not only provide texture but also offer a dose of healthy fats, vitamin E, and minerals. They bring a satisfying nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the raspberries and adds a touch of elegance to your breakfast.
