Blueberry Magnesium Overnight Oats
These overnight oats go beyond basic meal prep by incorporating bioavailable magnesium for muscle recovery and sleep quality, hemp hearts for complete protein, and wild blueberries for cognitive support. The overnight soaking process breaks down phytic acid in the oats, improving mineral absorption while creating a creamy, pudding-like texture that makes mornings effortless.
