Overnight Oats Nutrition

Let’s talk health and nutrition for a sec here because this bowl is packed with all the good stuff.

I used sprouted oats which have a little more nutritional value that old fashion rolled oats (which are still a stellar option too). They are easier to digest, have more absorbent vitamins, and a tad lower carbohydrate count. Oats in general have more protein then you might think with over 13g for a ½ cup serving. *To make this recipe gluten-free simply use gluten-free oats.
Chia seeds are what makes these oats FLUFFY! Chia seeds also add in more fiber (can’t get enough of that stuff), contain loads of antioxidants, and are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Basically, a bowl of oats is a wonderful snack, breakfast ,whatever and they are quite delicious, especially when you add in that lemon poppy seed flavor!
