Hi Friends! Welcome back to the blog! Today I’m sharing another sneak peek recipe from my book The 5 Day Juicing Diet!
With a little prep work, overnight oats are an easy way to enjoy the benefits of oatmeal. You may be surprised to learn that just half a cup of dry rolled oats contains 6 grams of protein. I love pumpkin seeds for this recipe, because they add crunch, texture, and benefits like fiber, iron, and zinc. Zinc boasts antioxidant and anti-in ammatory properties, and helps support hormone health. Enjoy this recipe cold or hot—it’s delicious either way.

Notes
Ingredient tip: I recommend using rolled oats in this recipe. Quick oats will yield a mushy texture, and steel-cut oats may be too gritty for some people— but Goldilocks would agree that rolled oats are just right!
