Golden Milk Overnight Oats
These gluten free and vegan golden milk overnight oats are made with nourishing organic, GF oats with coconut milk and plenty of warming spices. Soaking oats help break down the starches and reduces phytic acid (an anti nutrient that can interfere with digestive enzymes and reduce mineral absorption). A simple soak can help your body reap the benefits of the nutrients in the oats easier!
Overnight oats are high in resistant starch, a prebiotic fibre. This type of fibre passes straight through the digestive system until it reaches your gut and here the gut bacteria ferment the fibre helping to create a healthy environment.
90% of your body’s supply of serotonin lies in you gut. Happy gut = happy mind!
Turmeric is also an amazing anti-inflammatory antioxidant especially when paired with pepper. Great at improving so many things from heart health to depression. So perhaps call these golden milk overnight oats a lil bowl of sunshine. 🙂
