Overnight turmeric oats
How about some oats…but with a kick? These overnight turmeric oats are full of cozy, warm spices, like a cancer-fighting breakfast version of a golden milk latte. It combines potent anti-inflammatory turmeric and nutrient-dense chia seeds for a nourishing on-the-go breakfast.
It takes less than five minutes to toss the ingredients in a jar, shake ’em up, and pop them in the fridge. The magic happens overnight when the oats and chia seeds absorb all the liquid.
In the morning, all you have to do is open the fridge, grab the jar, and out the door, you go! Here’s a quick list of what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- Oats. We love the Happy Belly Old Fashioned Oats from Amazon, but you choose your favorite.
- Milk of Choice. But as a healthier option, we recommend going with almond milk.
- Chia Seeds. As many as you like
- Turmeric. Just a smidge will do wonders.
- Black Pepper. Yes, you read that right. We’ll explain later.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice. Who needs Starbucks?
- Sweetener. You can choose honey as a healthier option.
- Toppings. These are half the fun of overnight oats! For instance, try banana slices, pumpkin seeds, and berries. Just have fun and do what works for you!
Top Tips to Make Overnight Oats
- Your oats must sit for at least 4 hours, if not overnight.
- How thick or thin do you like your oats? You can always begin with a little less milk, then add more in the morning if desired.
- Overnight turmeric oats are a bit light on calories and protein to be considered a full meal. So try pairing them with high-protein food for a better-balanced cancer-fighting breakfast. Ideas include yogurt, a protein shake, or eggs.
- Don’t skip the black pepper. The piperine that’s in black pepper aids your body to absorb the potent antioxidant curcumin in turmeric much better.
