We've encouraged you to be adventurous with your oats: first we told you to put them in your fridge while you sleep for delicious overnight oats, then we told you to smear them all over your face (thank you, soothing face mask).
But now we're really asking you to take a walk on the wild side by cooking up a big bowl of zoats — better known as zucchini oats.
While you might think we've totally lost it by suggesting you throw veggies into your creamy oatmeal, we promise just one taste will make you a believer. Plus, the health benefits are undeniable! It's low in calories, sugar, offers tons of fiber, is super filling and allows you to sneak in an extra serving of veggies all before 9 a.m. So hit up the farmers market, grab a fresh zucchini and make your new favorite breakfast!
