Berry-Almond Overnight Oats

Start to finish: 8 hours 5 minutes

Servings: 1 serving

A nutritious and convenient breakfast recipe designed for individuals managing obesity and seeking healthy weight management options. The combination of fiber-rich oats, protein from Greek yogurt, and healthy fats from almonds promotes satiety and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. The antioxidant-rich berries provide additional health benefits and protective effects for obesity-related conditions.

This recipe utilizes an overnight soaking method which enhances the digestibility of oats and increases nutrient bioavailability. The portion-controlled serving delivers essential nutrients while managing caloric intake.

The recipe can be adapted for various dietary needs: use certified gluten-free oats for gluten sensitivity, substitute dairy yogurt with plant-based alternatives for vegan diets, or modify protein content by adding protein powder. For those with nut allergies, seeds can be used as an alternative to almonds.
