PB&J Overnight Oats

Childhood’s favorite flavor pairing isn’t just for sandwiches–nor is just for kids! I LOVE PB& J. There’s something so cheerfully nostalgic about it, like a layered spoonful is a portal to an eternal childhood, one where boo-boos evaporated with a kiss. These scrumptious PB&J overnight oats deliver all the throwback yumminess of the classic combo with an energizing, nutritious upgrade.  No-cook and easy to make ahead, peanutty oats layered with a quick, berrylicious chia jam are sure to delight while making mornings a little more fuss-free.

 A staunch ally for gastrointestinal health, fiber nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, promotes healthy digestion and regularity, and supports overall wellbeing. It’s no wonder fiber is considered a vital component of a healthy diet, yet according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 95% of Americans don’t get enough of it.  Good news, bolstering your fiber intake is as easy as supplementing a variety of fiber-rich foods with Psyllium, a rejuvenating colon-cleanser and your digestive system’s best friend.

I love Organic India Psyllium products, never treated with pesticides or harmful chemicals. Whole Husk Psyllium Fiber is innately rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are necessary for healthy digestion. Organic India’s Psyllium Pre & Probiotic Fibers, offered in Original, Cinnamon Spice, and Orange flavors, further incorporate three digestion-soothing Ayurvedic herbs as well as a strong dose of Probiotics, all working together for a healthy microbiome. Both of these options work wonderfully in these easy overnight oats. Just be mindful of amounts–it’s not a 1-1 swap!

Of course, you don’t have to incorporate Pysllium—oats offer a wealth of fiber on their own, too. But overnight oats are a simple, blissful opportunity to take on that extra boost. And if you need to pare back on time further, just do one layer each of peanutty oats and chia (or other) jam. Dress up as you like–top with a swirl of peanut butter, fresh berries, crushed peanuts, or whatever suits your mood. Enjoy! xo
