It’s the time of year for all things pumpkin + today pumpkin is meeting my favorite breakfast.
If you know me, you know I start most mornings off with a big cup of overnight oats. They’re a delicious, healthy meal to start the day with—that requires 0 effort in the morning.
Pumpkin puree adds a creamy, naturally sweet, and nutrient-rich addition to this breakfast. Combined with hemp + chia seeds for extra protein, this is the best fuel to start fall days with.
Prep them the night before a busy morning, pack them for breakfast on the road, and carry them to the trailhead for pre-hike fuel.
I know you guys are going to love these overnight oats + can’t wait to hear how they make your mornings better!
