{NEW} Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats ??? Raise your hand if you’re joining me in eating Pumpkin Everything these next few months?!! ?♀️ Pumpkin is super filling and satisfying, thanks to its high fiber content, but it’s also low-calorie. So, it’ll fill you up, with high nutrients = energy fuel!
Pumpkin also contains beta carotene, which converts to a BIG dose of vitamin A when we eat it (that bright orange color!) Vitamin A keeps our eyes healthy, and boosts our bodies immunity to sickness and disease.
Eating pumpkin can keep us looking younger too, thanks to beta-carotene that helps protect us from the sun’s wrinkle-causing UV rays = younger-looking skin.
As these oats soak overnight, their digestibility greatly improves.
Overnight as they soak, the starches break down which improves digestibility and the natural phytic acid (which all plants contain) is greatly reduced that makes them more easily absorbed by your body!
