These no-cook oat recipes are the perfect way to start your day and pamper your tastebuds with flavours and nutrients of your choice.
Overnight oats is an amazing breakfast option for more than one reason. Not only they save you the hassle of cooking in the morning, but also increase nutrient availability as the process of cooking may destroy some of the essential vitamins and minerals. With this method, oats absorb the liquid (water or milk) you have soaked them in and become soft which you can enjoy the next day along with your favourite toppings. There's a lot of scope for customisation and you can almost always adjust it as per the liking of your taste buds. (Also read: Make these tasty and healthy recipes with oats)
Oatmeal has many wonderful benefits. Free of gluten, oats also improve your satiety and curb those hunger pangs during the day, also giving a boost to your energy levels. They are also good for your digestive health with their high fibre content working wonders for the bowel movements. Oats also help in balancing your blood sugar levels as they are slowly absorbed in the blood stream.
