Overnight oats are a great breakfast option for when busy mornings. Be sure to add enough protein into your oats. As we know, a balanced meal contains protein, carbs, and fat. Be sure to follow these guidelines, as some oat recipes are not always balanced. Personally, I like using a scoop of unflavored collagen and a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt to increase the nutrient density of my breakfast. Keep in mind that everyone’s protein requirements differ, so adjust the ingredient ratios according to your nutritional needs.
