Cherry Bakewell Overnight Oats

Oats are one of my heroes when it comes to Breakfast. Most of my mornings you will find me making my beloved porridge in the kitchen, but every now and then it is nice to switch things up a little.
Overnight oats are a great alternative to porridge especially when the weather is hot and you want a refreshing breakfast in the morning.

They are a very good source of fibre, and high in beta glucan which is a soluble fibre that helps improve cholesterol, heart health, blood sugar levels and can boost your immune system.

Oats are also a good source of protein, providing about six grams per serving and are high in micronutrients such as manganese, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. 

Now that you know what’s inside oats and how good they are for our health you have to give this recipe a go!
Not only are they super easy to make ( it only takes 5 minutes to whisk everything together) but they are also an excellent on the go breakfast.
