Baked oats truly is revolutionary. But how does this change the game in your own morning routine? The benefits of starting the day with a nourishing breakfast is nothing new. Morning routines are super helpful as they set the tone for the rest of your day. We need the energy to fuel us through our days, and breakfasts do just that. However, many people don’t take the time or find it difficult to sit down to breakfast before they start work. But just 5, 10 or even 15 minutes if you can spare it will do wonders for your mindset and day.
When enjoying your bowl of oats make sure you take some time just for you. Find your favourite spot in the morning sun, be present, and make sure you set your intentions for the day.
