You don’t have time in the morning? I get it…I have two kids and a husband to get organized. How about five minutes the night before? You can make overnight oats.

Overnight oats are a great way to enjoy the benefits of oatmeal – stable blood sugars, lowered cholesterol and a happy tummy – without having to spend all morning cooking it. Soaking breaks down the structure of the oats so they are easy to digest. The addition of Greek yogurt adds extra protein to keep you going but you can totally substitute coconut manna for Greek yogurt for a vegan version.
