You’ll never believe this…there’s a type of starch we can eat that will help us lose weight. It’s called Resistant Starch. And uncooked oats (found in this Gingerbread Overnight Oats recipe) are a great source of it! Resistant starch ‘resists’ digestion & instead feeds our good gut bugs. This supports a healthy gut microbiome and it decreases the insulin spike after a meal, our appetite & fat storage in our fat cells.
If you are craving gingerbread cookies but have weight loss & gut health goals, try my Gingerbread Overnight Oats instead! It’s a perfect cozy snack, breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients
1 ½ cup almond milk
2 tbsp coconut milk or Greek yogurt
1 tbsp unsulfured molasses (optional, but adds that real gingerbread flavour)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger

Notes
Protein Powder - I really like a clean whey isolate that’s been sweetened with stevia, like Schinoussa Whey Isolate or a clean beef protein powder that has a good amino acid profile like ATP Labs Supreme Beef Protein.
Grab & Go Snack - Divide this into 2 mason jars so you can just grab, shake & eat on busy days!
