Apple & Raspberry Overnight Oats
These apple and raspberry overnight oats are a delicious and nourishing breakfast or snack option, particularly during the postpartum recovery period.
Stewed apples support gut health and can assist in reducing inflammation in the digestive tract, while oats and chia seeds provide fibre, iron, and slow-releasing energy to help with blood sugar balance and regularity. Raspberries add a boost of antioxidants and vitamin C which may also support healing. It’s easy to prep ahead and can be eaten with one hand, ideal for nursing or whilst breastfeeding!
