Overnight oats are ideal for people who are short on time in the morning because the preparation takes place the evening before.
Oats are a good source of a dietary fiber called beta-glucans. Research findings suggest that beta-glucans from oats may lower a person’s cholesterol levels.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend up to 28 g of fiber per day for females and up to 34 g for males, depending on a person’s age.
Gluten-free oats are available to purchase in most grocery stores and online.
Overnight oats are quick and simple, and easy to eat on the way to school. This no-cook breakfast is a great source of fiber, which is typically lacking in the gluten-free diet. Allow your children to mix and match different fruits and nuts to personalize their breakfast.
