Overnight oats are a breakfast must-have on busy mornings. With just 5 minutes of prep before bed, I wake up to a ready-to-go meal in the fridge! To take my morning meal from good to gourmet, I love adding delicious toppings—especially those in season. Right now, it's all about strawberries.
Eating seasonally brings a plethora of benefits, including extra nutrients, peak flavour, and savings! Plus, it's a gut-friendly choice, steering clear of ultra-processed foods that can lead to digestive troubles.
