When we’re busy, it’s hard to make sure we get all the good stuff we need to keep us going throughout the day and our bodies running healthily. So, how about a natural superfood boost to help us do so?

What are Superfoods? 

When we see the term superfood, it generally means the food is nutrient dense – a bit of a powerhouse - either packed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants or other beneficial goodness. They tend to have health-boosting properties more so than other foods in the same category.

Do I need Superfoods?

Getting an array of the right vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients and antioxidants from a wide variety of fruit and vegetables in a week can be pretty tricky - even for the committed health enthusiast. A lot of us are not hitting the recommended daily intakes which can play havoc with our energy levels and overall health over time.

Incorporating superfoods into your daily diet can significantly enhance your overall nutrition balance and support a healthier lifestyle. They are a quick and easy way to boost your nutrient intake and give your body what it needs to thrive.

Easy Vegan Overnight Oats

What are overnight oats?

Overnight oats are essentially porridge, minus the cooking - they are prepped slightly differently and eaten cold. You add milk (or yogurt alternatives) to the oats and leave them overnight in the fridge. The oats slowly break down overnight, resulting in the texture of porridge with a bit more bite, whilst saving you time in the morning too!

Are overnight oats healthy?

The short answer is yes - overnight oats make an excellent, nutritious breakfast. They are packed with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are high in soluble fibre beta-glucan and protein compared to other grains, which releases the energy you need in the mornings slowly, keeping you fuelled for longer.

Simply top with fruit and BodyMe Omegas Blend to create a real nutritional powerhouse, giving your body a great start to the day with the addition of Omegas 3, 6 and 9. 

Ingredients:

• A portion of oats
• Plant-based milk
• 1 heaped tbsp BodyMe Omegas Powder
• Top with berries, nut butters and sweeten with coconut nectar as preferred.

Method:

1. Combine oats, plant-based milk, BodyMe Omegas. Place in the fridge overnight. 
2. In the morning, top with your favourite fruits, nut butters and coconut nectar.
