Vanilla Overnight Oats
Oats are one of the best complex carbohydrates you could include in your diet for weight loss as they provide your body with slow releasing energy throughout the morning, increasing satiety so you can stay fuller longer and minimize overeating. Protein is another key part in any weight loss friendly eating plan, and the yogurt in this recipe functions not only to add creamy flavor to your oats, but also to infuse your breakfast with protein. This will feed your muscles and keep you full so you can lose fat and lean out while growing stronger, in combination with a well-rounded exercise plan, of course.
Nuts are a great way to infuse your diet with healthy fats, so sprinkling walnuts overtop your oats each morning is an easy and delicious way to improve your chances of losing weight while adding crunch and flavor to your meal. If you only have five minutes at night to throw together an easy breakfast for the next day, this overnight oats recipe is perfect for you.
