Breakfast Tomorrow: Overnight Oatmeal

March 11th, 2015 by Paula Gallagher

overnight-oatmealVersions of this recipe have been popping up all over social media. I finally decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. Overnight oatmeal is ideal for those who have no time for breakfast. Prepared in the evening, all you have to do is take it out of the fridge and eat it. You can even take it with you if you have made in a to-go container.

Nutritionally, this is a powerhouse. Heart healthy oats offer tons of fiber, chia seeds are chock full of antioxidants, protein and omega 3s, plus vitamins and minerals galore, depending on what toppings you choose.

The great thing about this easy breakfast is that it is so versatile! Here is the recipe I tried for the first time. I can’t wait to try different variations. This particular recipe made enough for about 4 servings. Continue reading “Breakfast Tomorrow: Overnight Oatmeal”

Guest Blog by Dr. Mark Hyman: 10 Reasons Why Summer is THE Season for Eating Well

August 21st, 2013 by Village Green Admin

There are so many reasons why I love the summertime: the green grass and warm sunshine, longer days and warmer evenings, more time to savor all the beauty of the outdoors. But the best part by far is the amazing abundance of healthy, fresh, whole foods everywhere you look. In celebration of the richness of the season, I’ve put together my top 10 reasons why there’s no better time to eat well.

1. Food is Fresh, Available, and Affordable

It’s easy to eat fresh, locally grown food when fruits and vegetables are as abundant and available as they are during the summer months. And when food is more available, it’s more affordable, too, since choosing local produce cuts the cost of shipping food from some far-off place.  Continue reading “Guest Blog by Dr. Mark Hyman: 10 Reasons Why Summer is THE Season for Eating Well”
