FOODFUL TIP

• Dairy is animal based and consequently does not contain any fiber. Alternatively, choosing a plant-based milk alternative, like soy milk which is my plant-based beverage of choice, adds an extra 0.75 grams of fiber to the serving.
• If you like cinnamon, sprinkling half a teaspoon adds another 0.7 grams bringing this overnight oatmeal to roughly 16 grams of fiber.
• Change up your toppings and add-ins anytime, here are a few ideas to get your started: cooked apples and cinnamon, sliced almonds and coconut shreds and peanut butter and banana.
• Storage: this recipe is perfect to keep your belly filled, your taste buds happy and your body healthy even during the super busy weekday mornings because overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Prep them on Sunday night for the week ahead!
