The inspiration for today’s recipe was borne out of the fact that I don’t have any overnight oats recipes on this blog, but it was about damn time I posted one. It’s funny, I feel like I’ve posted so many recipes to this space (120 to be specific), but there’s still so much I haven’t done. For example, I don’t have a popsicle recipe. No pizza recipes. And a troublesome scarcity of snacking recipes. Which, to be honest, is almost criminal – because snacking is probably my favorite hobby. No matter! I shall rectify these matters immediately, starting with my overnight oats recipe today.

These blueberry overnight oats are a great way to have a complete and nutritious breakfast, packed with fiber and nutrients, but for anyone who doesn’t have time to cook a big breakfast in the morning. I love oats because they’re such an underrated nutritional superstar. They’re a great source of the minerals manganese, selenium, and phosphorus, and are also a fantastic source of soluble dietary fiber. This type of dietary fiber is important because it binds to bile acids in the small intestine and removes them from the digestive system. It’s also worth mentioning that this type of soluble fiber helps lower your bad cholesterol levels (LDL), by reducing its absorbability into the bloodstream. Who knew that oats were so amazing? So when you dig into a bowl of these delicious blueberry overnight oats, you’ll also be nourishing your body in the best possible way.
