Overnight Oats Recipe with Raspberries

This overnight oats recipe is the perfect way to get more oats into your diet. Oats are one of our favourite SuperFoods. The reason being that they’re high in both soluble and insoluble fibre, which means they’re great for your gut health. In addition, they also contain more protein and fat that other grains. Likewise, they’re also loaded with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidant plant compounds. For example, half a cup (78 grams) of dry oats contains: 191% of your recommended daily intake of manganese, 41 % of your recommended daily intake of phosphorus, 34% of your recommended daily intake of magnesium and 20% of your recommended daily intake of iron and zinc.

In addition, oats are also rich in antioxidants and are known for their anti-inflammatory effects too. As a result, they’re a food that we consider to be ‘super’.
