Looking to Be a Bit Healthier?
Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your Grab n' Go Overnight Oats while keeping it healthier:
Use whole grain oats instead of rolled oats to increase fiber content and keep you fuller for longer.
Opt for unsweetened almond or coconut milk with added calcium and vitamin D for extra nutrients.
Replace low-fat natural Greek yoghurt with plain, fat-free Greek yoghurt to reduce fat and calorie intake.
Add chia seeds or flax seeds to the base mixture for an extra boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Healthier Topping Swaps:
For a healthier version, try using almond butter and maple syrup instead of peanut butter and honey. You can also reduce the butter amount by half and replace it with mashed bananas. This will not only cut down on the fat content but also add extra fiber and nutrients.
Enjoy experimenting with these delightful bars, and you'll surely find your favorite combination in no time!
