Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Oats
Hi Friends! Welcome back to Healthy Grocery Girl! Have you made overnight oats before? The are one of my favorite recipes to meal prep! They are a quick breakfast, snack or this recipe is so decadent it’s great for dessert!
February is American Heart Health month and my overnight oat recipe today features heart healthy ingredients such as oats, almonds and dark chocolate! Of course the main & most important ingredient in this recipe is quality oats! I recommend rolled oats for the perfect overnight recipe versus quick oats (which yield a mushy recipe) or steel cut (which taste too gritty). I love Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats!
Bob’s Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats are kiln-toasted and delightfully chewy, which makes for a satisfying European-style breakfast porridge, as well as being a great addition to baked goods like oatmeal cookies and bars. One serving contains 54 grams of whole grains and 7 grams of protein and is a good source of iron and fiber. All varieties are processed in Bob’s Red Mill’s dedicated gluten free facility and are tested to confirm their purity. Oats have been associated with helping lower levels of LDL (or bad) cholesterol and help keep arteries clear.
The Flavonoids in dark chocolate have been shown to help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and heart health.
