Top 5 Overnight Oats!

Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts to eat. They are super simple to make and you can basically eat them anywhere, even driving a car 😉 I am a huge fan of this healthy breakfast. I have compiled a list of my top 5 overnight oats.  Also, I know this is my life philosophy, but they are perfect for those busy weekday mornings when you are running out of the house. If you feel like you don't have time to meal prep, you can quickly make them the night before and throw them in the fridge till morning.

So, I just gave birth to my third child 4 weeks ago and have been breastfeeding her. Since I am breastfeeding I have been trying to find ways to increase my milk supply. After doing some research and consulting with the lactation specialist in the hospital I have found that brewers yeast is a great source to help increase your supply. I have been adding that to my overnight oats too. If you are not breastfeeding, simply leave out the brewer's yeast.  Below are my top 5 overnight oats recipes! 

What is Brewer's Yeast

So, Brewer's yeast is a yeast that is used in breadmaking, winemaking, and the brewing of top-fermenting beer. Besides, it is also consumed as a source of vitamin B and is used in laboratories as an important research organism.

Brewer's yeast is a kind of recourse for nursing mothers to increase the supply of milk during lactation. It has plenty of benefits, and is considered to be one of the galactagogue herbs safe for breastfeeding mothers. Galactagogue is a supplement that breastfeeding mothers use to support lactation and make more breast milk. Brewer's yeast is a highly nutritious dietary supplement. It contains protein, iron, and B vitamins, as well as chromium, selenium, and other trace minerals.
