The Overnight Oats Recipe You Need To Reduce Inflammation
Green tea latte meets green smoothie bowl meets overnight oats! Yes, get excited! If you like to amp up the health factor of your meals by any (delicious) means necessary, this breakfast bowl is for you.
Tea is a great way to incorporate subtle and interesting flavors into everyday recipes. Certain teas also carry with them a long list of health benefits, most notably their contribution of antioxidants. This green breakfast bowl is made with the poster child of health-supportive teas—green tea.
Green tea can be enjoyed in many ways, but in a cup is just one. This green tea overnight oat breakfast bowl also incorporates baby spinach—raising its greenness to another level and boosting its anti-inflammatory properties even more.
This breakfast bowl is energizing and health supportive. It's high in cancer-fighting antioxidants, soluble fiber, as well as healthy omega-3 fats. Be sure to use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
