Overnight Oats are are gorgeous and creamy and easy on a sore mouth. The ingredients can be adjusted depending on your side-effects. In this case, leave out the almonds if you have a sore mouth or difficulty swallowing and just use the almond butter.

You might want to consider adding coconut cream or crème fraîche if you have lost weight or some ginger if you are experiencing nausea.

The moisture in overnight oats makes them ideal if you have a dry mouth & throat, especially if you add in extra creamy ingredients.

If your taste buds have lost their zip from treatment or Covid-19, add extra nuts on top or toasted oats.

Ingredients

1⁄2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1⁄4 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt if you want to keep the recipe vegan)
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1⁄2 cup rolled oats
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄4 cup fresh berries
1 tablespoon natural almond butter (unsweetened or sweetened depending on your taste buds)
2 tablespoons slivered or whole almonds

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the almond milk, yogurt, and maple syrup until smooth. Add in the oats and the cinnamon; stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you can mix all ingredients in a mason jar.
In the morning, gently stir the overnight oats and top with berries, almond butter, and slivered almonds.

Recipe Note

Tip: You can take the basic ratio of rolled oats to milk and yogurt and play around with the topping to make new flavours. Try peanut butter and banana or coconut milk with fresh pineapple and mango for a tropical twist.
