Recipe Note
This
recipe features our Probiotic Tart
Cherries which boost the nutrition of
these overnight oats. In just one serving, there is 900 mcg of vitamin A. This
is 100% of the daily value recommended for adult men and 200 mcg more than the
recommended daily intake amount for adult women. Meeting your daily Vitamin A
requirements is important for healthy immune system functioning, and beneficial
for eye and skin health. Compared to other dried cherries, we add 10 billion
CFU of probiotics to our product to help promote digestive wellness while also
getting a serving of antioxidant vitamin A.
This recipe gets another antioxidant boost and rich chocolatey flavor with the addition of cacao powder. Incorporating cacao powder into recipes can provide additional iron and magnesium which are important for regulating the central nervous system. With a healthy balance of complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and plant-based protein, this combination helps to meet daily macronutrient requirements. With about 35g of plant-based protein, this is a great post-workout breakfast option for busy days. It is important to get at least 15-20g of protein in with a serving of carbohydrates after an intense workout to help with muscle repair and recovery. With this breakfast prepped ahead of time, it takes the worry away from your nutrition being adequate for your fitness needs and goals.
Overnight oats can be made several different ways each week. You can try incorporating different nuts and seeds, nut butters, and fresh fruit on top of or mixed in with your overnight oats to give them different flavor and nutrient profiles each week. We have many different trail mixes and dried fruits to choose from to help make it easy to make a variety in your weekly breakfast meal prep. If you don’t want to eat the oats cold, you can easily put them in the microwave the next day with some frozen berries on top for a warm cozy bowl of oats in the morning. We hope that you try out our Chocolate Cherry Overnight Oats Recipe to get many important nutrients in your breakfast meal.
