This all-in-one breakfast is chock full of fiber, good fats and antioxidants.
Cold-brew coffee provides the energy boost and delicious mocha flavor, without the stomach-irritating acidity of regular coffee. Raw cacao provides additional energy, as well as a hefty serving of magnesium — one of nature’s best anti-stress minerals.

Raspberries are one of the most fibrous fruits around, and will help keep your cells hydrated.
This recipe is vegan, gluten-free (make sure to buy gluten-free oats, as they’re often processed in the same facility as wheat) and dairy free. It’s all made the night before, so you can just grab it in the morning and get on to more pressing matters.
Mocha Raspberry Overnight Oats
