Add something special to your overnight oatmeal: chunks of sweet, juicy persimmon along with pumpkin puree! Plenty of health benefits: beta carotene for your eyes, lots of pectin to regulate blood sugar levels, high in fiber and vitamins K, A and C.
A good “overnight oats” strategy if you’re rushed on weekday mornings is to start by preparing 5 jars of dry oats and spices in advance on Sunday evening, each jar with:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 tablespoon buckwheat groats
- 1/2 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 packet of powdered stevia
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- couple dashes of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
Add all dry ingredients to a jar or container with an airtight lid. Put the lid on and shake to combine.
