Tips
If you decide to try your own variation, I aim for a 1:1 ratio of milk to oats and then half yogurt.
Since oats themselves don’t have a lot of protein, to make this a well-rounded breakfast, I would add some protein powder of your choice.
Benefits
Try these overnight oats! there are so many variations and fun ways to try them.
Whole oats are full of vitamins and antioxidants. These can be good for your follicular phase because they are rich in B vitamins and iron.
