Overnight Oats :Taking the first step has never been so easy

With Overnight Oats taking the first step towards weight management is as easy as 123. So what are you waiting for? This post has 5 ways to make Overnight Oats which will change the way you look at Oats!

Our hectic work life doesn’t go hand-in-hand with healthy aspirations of those who want to attain wellness through good nutrition and exercise. Gone are the days when a plate of good breakfast would be awaiting us and we would savour it, as a result we rely on junk food which is easy to fetch and consume. This unhealthy lifestyle of the urban class has lead to overweight problems which is a serious threat to many diseases, not worth mentioning.

To keep a check on our weight without compromising on the busy lifestyle, one must think of smart and healthy alternatives.

In the hustle bustle of work, home, kids, and social life, one thing that unfortunately takes the backseat most often is our own health. I am no different either, my weight is way above its target and regular readers of this blog would know that I have been making many constant changes to my lifestyle and eating habits.

Sometimes I am perplexed to the extent that I do not understand where to start from. I keep making meticulous plans on completely overhauling diet or work out 5 times a week. Such huge plans fall flat soon. Usually, it is the first step which is the hardest.

For me, I found the easy first step was to look at my breakfast and include some oats in it. And after experimenting with many things, I found overnight oats an interesting option. Finally, I found my personalized weight manager.

Overnight Oats

So let’s look at what are overnight oats?

Overnight oats as the word suggests are meant to be soaked over the night in milk/ coconut milk/curd or simply water. Add toppings of your choice next morning and your healthy breakfast is ready keeping your weight perfectly balanced.

Never did breakfast seem so easy before. Wish I had this secret potion before. Sharing some interesting recipes for overnight oats

To make the base overnight oats – Soak 1 cup of Horlicks Oats with 1 cup of water and 1 tbsp of curd.

The overnight soaking and addition of curd creates a little fermentation which is great for gut health and helps in weight loss.

So here are my five favourite ways of making overnight oats.

    So, you soak the oats overnight in curd, and then add milk to it in the morning? Is that fine to do?
