Overnight cocoa oats. Whenever we consume overnight oats for breakfast, we both notice that we are kept full a lot longer than usual. This is due to β-glucan, a type of soluble fiber. Since oats break down slowly in your stomach, it keeps you feeling fuller longer and more likely to skip that mid morning snack - deeming this an ideal breakfast for weight-loss.

If you've never had overnight oatmeal, they're basically a no-cook method of making oatmeal. So, instead of cooking oatmeal on the stovetop or in the microwave, you soak the raw oats with milk. That soaking process allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften them enough to eat uncooked. I like my oatmeal warm, so I heat it up in the morning. While you can make overnight oatmeal with steel cut oats or quick cook oats (more on that in a sec), we've found the best results come from old-fashioned or rolled oats.
