Pumpkin Overnight Oats
You know it’s Fall when leaves are beginning to turn, evenings become cooler and pumpkin pops up everywhere. So really, Fall is more so, pumpkin season and more importantly, pumpkin season is officially here! Pumpkin Oatmeal, Pumpkin Overnight Oats, Pumpkin Chowder, and of course, pumpkin pie (even though that is more Thanksgiving for me).
Did you know pumpkin is super nutrient dense? It is loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, especially vitamin A. Many times pumpkin gets a bad wrap as it is mostly used in very sweet things (which is totally fine) BUT I have a more nutrient-dense option for you to use this delicious and nutrient dense food.
Enjoy the change of season with my Pumpkin Overnight Oats! It is a great on-the-go option for not only breakfast but lunch or a post workout option. I like to make two or four of these to have throughout the week or share with family.
