the northeast ginger

This is a really strong breakfast item that’s easy to batch, quick to prepare and delivers balance. Bottom line? This is a healthy, nutrient-rich way to start your day. Here’s why:

• Slow, steady carbs: The rolled oats and the chia provide long-lasting energy, while the fiber slows digestion. This meal is designed to be gentle on your blood sugar and result in fewer mid-morning crashes.
• High-quality protein: The whole milk and the whey protein support growth, muscles and satiety. And when we pair high-quality protein with carbs, it helps stabilize glucose and keeps you full.
• Healthy fats: You read that right — fats can be healthy and absolutely belong in your diet. We’re using whole milk in this recipe as a source of healthy fat, along with the chia and cacao.
• Nutrient-dense: this meal is not only macro balanced (carbs, protein and fat), but it also provides some key micronutrients that benefit your body and brain (manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, calcium, B12, Vitamin A, Omega-3 fatty acids and iron).

Here are some great options on how to store your overnight oats:

• 16 oz glass containers with bamboo lids
• 1 cup glass Pyrex bowls with lids – this is what we typically use
• Glass food storage containers with snap locking lids
