Nutritious Chocolate Overnight Oats
These chocolate overnight oats are the perfect way to start your day. They’re delicious and extremely beneficial to your gut.
First lets read about the ingredients. Oats, cacao powder, chia seeds, and collagen are great foods to add to your daily diet.
Benefits of rolled oats:
Oats are high in fiber, therefore helping support digestion. They’re filling and
provide a nutritious breakfast or snack during the day.
Benefits of chia seeds:
Chia seeds are packed with antioxidants as well as high in fiber and omega 3 levels. They can be helpful for
lowering blood pressure and reducing inflammation and bloating.
Benefits of cacao powder:
Cacao powder is beneficial for heart health and digestion. It also contains fiber, as well as
iron and magnesium. Both those minerals are good and necessary for your body.
Benefits of collagen:
Adding collagen to your daily diet is a good way to improve gut health. It also supports
healthy hair, skin, nails, and bones.
This is my and my husbands favorite breakfast. It’s great for prepping ahead of time or if you’re on the go!
