Oats are a whole grain that packs a powerful nutritional punch. They are rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. The fiber in oats, particularly beta-glucans, has been shown to help reduce cholesterol levels, aid in digestion, and promote feelings of fullness, which can be beneficial for weight management. Additionally, oats provide a good source of antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. With their low glycemic index, oats also contribute to stable blood sugar levels, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to maintain energy throughout the day.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large ripe peach, diced (plus extra slices for topping)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.

    Fold in the diced peaches gently to incorporate them into the mixture.

      Divide the mixture evenly into two to four jars or containers, depending on serving size.

        Seal the containers with lids or cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.

          In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more milk if needed.

            Top the oats with additional peach slices and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like.

              Enjoy chilled or heated in the microwave for about 30 seconds if you prefer warm oats.
