Festive Overnight Oats



 



Looking to spice up your mornings with some festive cheer? With the festive season rapidly approaching what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to treat yourself to some festive (and utterly delicious) overnight oats?



 

If you’ve never had overnight oats, they’re basically a no-cook method of making porridge that involves leaving your oats to soak overnight and are served chilled. The best part is that you can flavour and top your oats with pretty much whatever you want! In addition to being extremely tasty they’re also a great source of complex carbohydrates and fibre with a low glycaemic index helping to keep you fuller for longer. In addition, these oat recipes are all under 400 calories so they can still easily be incorporated into your diet if you’re looking to lose weight on a calorie deficit. Not to mention, they’re easy to grab from your fridge if you’re somebody who’s always on the go and doesn’t have a lot of time to spend faffing around over breakfast.



 

As it’s the holiday season, why not infuse your overnight oats with the flavours of Christmas? Whether you’re a lover of warming gingerbread or prefer treating yourself to a tangy chocolate orange you’re going to love the 3 festive overnight oat recipes we’ve come up with.  We’ve decided to use our own flavourful Slender Porridge oats for an extra boost of protein but feel free to use standard rolled oats if you’d prefer!
