Weekend Warrior Overnight Oats
This is the recipe we always have when we have a work weekend! Overnight oats are a great thing to have during mornings when you don’t have a lot of time. Oatmeal, on its own, can spike your blood sugar. However, when you combine oats with fiber and fat, it becomes a more blood sugar friendly meal. It’s all about the toppings here! Load up your bowl to increase satiety and add color, flavor, and extra nourishment.
