Raw, Overnight Oats with Fresh Figs, Strawberries and Hemp Seeds
Raise your hand if you often find yourself out of time to make a nutritious breakfast in the morning! Mixing up a batch of no-cook overnight oats is easy, healthy and delicious. Plus, it can be portable, if necessary, if made in a mason jar for the mornings when you really need to jet.
We love this because all the ingredients are kept in their raw state, and they taste so good you won’t even miss that the dish is served chilled.
