These overnight oats are a quick and easy breakfast, even on the go. They're great for a psoriasis diet, heart health diet, weight loss, and more! They're super good for you no matter what health regimen you follow. They're great to jump start your metabolism in the morning and keep you full with less than 300 calories.
Even though I don't work outside the home, I still like to prep ahead for breakfast. I'm just not a morning person.. I don't want to be cooking when I first wake up, and I find that I'm more likely to eat breakfast if I have it prepped and ready. I like to prep ahead enough of these to last me the week, adding only the dry ingredients to the jar. Then, each night, I add the almond milk to one for the next morning and leave it in the fridge overnight. The next morning you can have them cold, right out of the fridge or heat them up. I like to microwave mine for 45 seconds and add a couple teaspoons of delicious homemade Coconut Honey Butter.
For the Tablespoon of coconut and Tablespoon of almonds, you can easily substitute dried fruit and any other nut of your choice. The flavor options are endless. Some people like to add chocolate chips and such, but I prefer not to add candy-like ingredients. Perhaps, dark chocolate wouldn't be so bad... occasionally. However, on a regular basis, I would choose fruit and nuts to keep it as healthy as possible.
You could also add in some healthy spices after microwaving. Cinnamon is a great healthy example. You could even add in some Pumpkin Spice seasoning. How about some freshly grated ginger? I can think of so many options. In fact, I may do more on these in the future with some alternative variations, beyond the coconut and almonds in today's basic recipe. Well, coconut and almonds are the basic for me at least. This is my go-to recipe that is the standard in my book. I do love some variations occasionally though, so watch for those a little later on.
