Why I love Figs, Dates and Nuts Overnight Recipe

Figs, Dates and Nuts Overnight Oats Recipe is hearty and will keep you powered up all morning. Swiss Oats are one of my favorite breakfasts or snacks, it’s just so delicious and filled with healthy ingredients too! 

Figs, Dates and Nuts Overnight Oats Recipe are quite tasty! This breakfast dish reminds me of my time in Mexico. I tried fresh figs off of a fig tree for the first time ever and I LOVED them. Oh they were so delicious. Since then, I wanted to have my own fig tree in my yard like some of my friends in Mexico do. I haven’t had much luck with fulfilling that yet. 😉

Ingredients in Figs, Dates and Nuts Overnight Recipe

• Oats- I prefer to use whole grain oats because they hold up better that quick oats for baking. Did you know that oats in any form help to lower bad cholesterol, are rich in antioxidants, and a great source of fiber! 
• Asian Pear- Asian pears are high in fibre, low in calories and a good source of Vitamin K and C, copper, and potassium. Potassium: Potassium is important for your body’s cells, organs and tissues to function properly.
• Figs- are high in natural sugars, minerals and soluble fiber. Figs are rich in minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper and are a good source of antioxidant vitamins A and K that contribute to health and wellness.
• Fuji Apples- Apples are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C Folate (folic acid). Good for diabetics and blood sugar regulation, aids Weight Loss, enables smoother digestion, helps relieve constipation, protecting bones, reduces cholesterol, boost brain power.
• Greek yogurt- two cups per day can provide protein, calcium, iodine, and potassium while helping you feel full for fewer calories. But maybe more importantly, yogurt provides healthy bacteria for the digestive tract which can affect the entire body.
• Kefir- Kefir is a healthy, fermented food with a consistency comparable to drinkable yogurt. This product is traditionally made from dairy milk, but plenty of non-dairy options are available. Studies suggest that it boosts your immune system, aids in digestive problems, improves bone health and may even combat cancer.
• Almonds- are rich in valuable nutrients for your body, like magnesium, vitamin E, and dietary fiber. A single serving of almonds makes for a nutritious and filling snack. Almonds have calcium and phosphorus, which improve bone health and can protect you from fractures.
• Walnuts- are packed with healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, offering benefits for heart health (lowering cholesterol), brain function (reducing inflammation), gut health (feeding good bacteria), blood sugar control, and potentially lowering cancer risk, thanks to their antioxidants and omega-3s (ALA). A daily ounce (about 14 halves) provides essential nutrients like magnesium, manganese, and polyphenols, stabilizing blood sugar and promoting fullness.  
• Raisins- are packed with antioxidants, fiber, iron, and potassium, offering benefits like sustained energy, improved digestion, better heart health by lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol, stronger bones, and enhanced oral health due to antibacterial compounds. They’re a natural, sugar-sweetened snack with prebiotic effects, supporting gut health and potentially reducing cancer risk, but moderation is key due to their sugar content.

Fit Friday is here!

Nichole from Pure Clean Fitness is here with us today and I LOVE her advice today.  It resonates with me on soooo many levels.

This is the last Fit Friday of the year. I didn’t want to use this last post to give you another workout. I wanted to take a minute to think about what some of the healthiest changes I made this year. I have worked with clients on getting more water, increasing veggie intake, exercising regularly, etc. All the same old challenges that many of you have done in the past. But this year we also started focusing on something a little different, a little more. We have not said no to any food, treats were fair game, instead we have focused on why.

The challenge has been to get to know your body a little more, a little deeper, and figure out why you crave the foods you crave. Is it a physical thing or mental/emotional response?

This year I am learning more and more how important it is to tune into your body, your soul, and your heart.

Happiness is not in never eating sugar again and working out six days a week. Happiness comes in being completely connected to yourself. Respecting yourself. Your whole self!
