Oatmeal is packed with fiber? This will make your intestines happy! After all, fiber absorbs water and keeps your bowels moving, which makes for regular bowel movements. What's more, fiber gives you a feeling of satiety. Besides fiber, oats also contain proteins and important vitamins. That's why overnight oats are an ideal kickstart to your day.

Tip from our dietician Solenne
Overnight oats can be adapted to your taste. Replace the banana with blueberries or strawberries, for example. Choose a tablespoon of unroasted, unsalted nuts instead of peanut butter. Make sure to choose healthy, fresh alternatives and no processed, sugar-rich products.
