PB&J Overnight Oats with Psyllium and Probiotics

Jump to Recipe

Childhood’s favorite flavor pairing isn’t just for sandwiches–nor is just for kids! These scrumptious PB&J overnight oats deliver all the nostalgic yumminess of the classic combo with an energizing, nutritious upgrade.  No-cook and easy to make ahead, peanutty oats layered with a quick, berrylicious chia jam are sure to delight while making mornings a little more fuss-free. Incorporate any of our ORGANIC INDIA Psyllium products, and enjoy an extra soothing boost to keep you feeling satisfied.

 A staunch ally for gastrointestinal health,  nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, promotes healthy digestion and regularity, and supports overall wellbeing. It’s no wonder fiber is considered a vital component of a healthy diet, yet according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 95% of Americans don’t get enough of it.  Good news, bolstering your fiber intake is as easy as supplementing a variety of fiber-rich foods with Psyllium, a rejuvenating colon-cleanser and your digestive system’s best friend.

Never treated with toxic pesticides or chemicals, our Organic India Psyllium Whole Husk Fiber is innately rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are necessary for healthy digestion. Our Psyllium Pre & Probiotic Fibers, offered in Original, Cinnamon Spice, and Orange flavors, further incorporate three digestion-soothing Ayurvedic herbs as well as a strong dose of Probiotics, all working together for a healthy microbiome. 

Both our ORGANIC INDIA Psyllium Whole Husk Fiber and Pre & Probiotic Fibers work wonderfully in these easy overnight oats. Just be mindful of amounts–it’s not a 1-1 swap! If you need to pare back on time further, just do one layer each of peanutty oats and chia (or other) jam. Dress up as you like–top with a swirl of peanut butter, fresh berries, crushed peanuts, or whatever suits your mood. And enjoy.
