Carrot Cake Overnight Oats
These Carrot Cake Overnight Oats are easy to fix the night before and quick to prepare in the morning! They’re a wonderful way to start the day.
Seeds are a great addition to your diet to help boost and regulate your metabolism. You can find seeds and nuts in bulk in smaller grocery stores, especially those that focus more on fruits and vegetables. Buying in bulk is typically less expensive than buying those already packaged and it has the added benefit of letting you experiment without purchasing a large package that will go bad on your shelf if you decide seeds aren’t you’re thing.
If you're looking for a breakfast that's healthy and has a good amount of fiber, try this overnight oats recipe. We've added a few ingredients to the original recipe to boost the nutritional value. Adding chia seeds, flax seeds, and quinoa supercharges an already healthy dish.
