Overnight Oats

This is one of our favorite go-to recipes. Not only are overnight oats much richer and creamier than quick packaged oats that you make in the morning in five minutes or less, but soaking the oats overnight increases their digestibility and makes it easier for your body to absorb their nutrients, especially if your digestion is compromised from treatment or cancer itself. Their soft, gentle texture makes this an ideal breakfast for anyone experiencing dry or sore mouth/throat. Try adding some cinnamon or fresh berries for some extra sweetness.
