What Ingredients Are Used in These Mandarin Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats can be made with almost any ingredient you like. In our case, we chose mandarins, vanilla extract, quick cook oats, unsweetened almond milk, slivered almonds, and Crispy Green® strawberry crispy fruit.
Mandarins are a great way to boost your health! From preventing disease to providing essential nutrients, these little citrus fruits pack a big punch. If you’re looking for an easy and delicious way to improve your well-being, mandarins may be the perfect choice! Not only do they taste amazing, but they also offer a range of impressive health benefits. From aiding digestion to boosting immunity, there are plenty of reasons why mandarins should become a regular part of your diet.
Almond milk has been a vegan and health-conscious favorite for many years. Unsweetened almond milk is becoming increasingly popular as people discover the numerous health benefits it provides. It is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy fatty acids that make it a great choice for those looking to improve their overall well-being.
Nuts are a tasty snack, but did you know that almonds in particular can offer a range of health benefits? From improving your heart health to helping with blood sugar control, these mighty little morsels have some serious superpowers. We like to add them to salads or enjoy them as a stand-alone snack!
Quick cook oats are quick and easy to make, but they also come with a number of impressive health benefits. From reducing cholesterol levels and promoting digestive health to keeping you feeling full for longer and providing essential vitamins and minerals, quick cook oats can be a great addition to any diet. They’re also incredibly versatile, making them ideal for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between.
Mandarin Overnight Oats Makes Breakfast Meal Prep Easy
I like to make these for meal prep, too! Mandarin Overnight Oats are the perfect addition to your breakfast routine. They take minimal effort and taste amazing, so you can have breakfast ready-to-go in no time.
I love these overnight oats because they are packed with flavor from fresh mandarins and creamy Greek yogurt. The combination of sweet, tart and creamy makes for a delicious start to the day! Plus it’s a balanced meal that’s loaded with fiber, protein and healthy fats.
