Overnight oats can make breakfast easier—including those times you want it to go! Naturally sweet grated carrots and almond milk add to the dessert-like taste of these overnight oats. The final texture will depend on how fine you shred the carrots. Smaller threads will melt into the softened oats, while coarsely grated carrots will have more of a crunch. Oatmeal fuels the brain, satisfies hunger keeping your body and mind in full-force throughout the day. Oats also contain choline, which the body needs in order to produce a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine helps with both learning and memory.
