Are my peach recipes overkill this year? haha my 10 lbs box of beautiful peaches from the Okanagan, BC had me so excited to curate healthy recipes with these perfectly sweet fruits. On meal prep days, overnight oats are one of my go-to breakfasts as its so easy and quick to throw together, while the vast fruit, superfoods, and spices means I never get bored of creating new flavor combinations.
Overnight oats are an excellent way of ensuring no matter how busy your mornings are you can at least grab something prepared and take it with you while you run out the door. Ensuring you have a protein, fiber, and healthy fat in the morning is crucial to not only fuel your day, but to boost metabolism, balance blood sugar levels, and help reduce cravings and feeling of anxiety throughout the day.
You can select gluten-free oats as needed, swap out the fruits for what is in season for cost and nutrition, and incorporate a good quality plant-based protein powder or swap that for 2 tbsp of hemp hearts. The Peach Pie Oats are a great way to enjoy the flavors of summer, if you are looking for other breakfast oatmeal recipes check-out Overnight Beautifying Antioxidant Overnight Oats or my fall inspired Apple Pie Morning Oats
