You guys all know how much I love meals that require no cooking, and overnight oats is one of my favorites. There’s something so ideal about waking up in the morning to a ready-made healthy breakfast.
Jordan and I get on these overnight oats kicks where we make them all the time, so I’m constantly looking for yummy new flavors so that we don’t get bored. These lemon raspberry overnight oats are perfect for spring and the lemon zest gives your taste buds a great wake up call in the am. For some unbelievable reason Theo despises cold oats, so I have to heat his up first. These lemon raspberries oats were no exception, but once heated he loved them!
I like to add riced cauliflower to my oats because it’s such an easy way to get in some extra veggies. You can skip the cauliflower and do all oats though if that sounds more appealing to you. I feel like cauliflower is one of those veggies that people tend to forget about, although it’s definitely getting more popular lately. Cauliflower is a great source of choline, a nutrient that has been shown to boost cognitive function and improve memory. I have “mom brain” so give me all the choline. It’s also a great source of antioxidants which can help protect against sun damage, something we all need with summer coming up.
Have you tried cauliflower rice yet? If so, what do you think?
