About Overnight oats smores

Overnight Oats S'mores is a spin on traditional overnight oats, combining oats with milk, yogurt, cacao, marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers for a dessert-inspired treat. It originates from the trend of enhancing convenience foods with flavors reminiscent of classic cuisines or nostalgic desserts, this one specifically mimicking the campfire S'mores. Packed with complex carbohydrates from oats, it provides sustained energy, along with protein from milk or yogurt. It also includes small amounts of calcium and antioxidants from cacao. While indulgent, it can balance nutrient needs when using wholesome ingredients like unsweetened cacao, whole milk, and plain yogurt.

Health Benefits

• Oats are rich in dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which supports heart health and digestion.
• Cacao contains flavonoids, potent antioxidants that promote brain function and reduce inflammation.
• Milk or yogurt provides calcium and vitamin D, essential for bone health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk, gluten (from graham crackers, if not gluten-free), possible nut traces in some marshmallows

Suitable for: Vegetarian, flexitarian

Not suitable for: Vegan, gluten-free (unless modifications made), dairy-free

Selection and Storage
