There’s much to be said for letting things marinade until morning, and this theory applies as much to food… as it does to those big life decisions.
Let’s take oats, for example.
Oats are well known for their nutritional benefits, but there is no doubt this grain has been typecast, somewhat, by its most famous role…. ‘porridge’.
Porridge - it’s not for everyone, and especially not me when I’ve only got 5 minutes to spare between ensuring everyone else is fed, watered and ready for the day.
A perfect solution to this dilemma, or so I’ve discovered, is Overnight Oats.
Linwoods version of this popular breakfast favourite is blended with chia seed and sprouted quinoa, a rich source of fatigue-busting B vitamins and magnesium (50g offers 29% of your daily recommended intake.) It is also unique in that it is gluten free, and suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets.
With no cooking required, it’s perfect for busy mornings when, in all honesty, eating breakfast has traditionally been a tug of war between common sense… and time constraints.
All this breakfast hack requires, is a bit of fore-planning, for starters (I now leave a note by the kettle reminding me to fill a bowl before going to bed.) As well, a ready supply of no-chopping-required fruit, honey and seeds is a must for raising your overnight oats game… and particularly if, like me, the incentives encompass winter immunity, just as much as hunger and energy.
