Toasted Pistachio and Cherry Overnight Oats
Nothing beats waking up in the morning knowing that your breakfast is waiting for you, and this simple recipe will be there when you return from your vigorous morning workout. Studies show that cherries can reduce pain from arthritis and exercise-related soreness. Oatmeal replenishes carbohydrate stores. Chia seeds provide omega-3s, essential fatty acids shown to help reduce inflammation. Finally, pistachios get their green color from chlorophyll, the same healing compound found in leafy greens, AND it was recently found that pistachios are a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids! Talk about an ideal recovery meal.
