Overnight Oat Bran with Blueberries, Coconut & Ginger

Oat bran is the outer layer of the oat groat just beneath the outer hull. Oat bran has the same beneficial nutrients as steel cut and whole oats yet it has more fiber and protein. When cooked or soaked, it has a creamy texture many people enjoy. Soaking oat bran overnight with other nutrient-packed ingredients makes for a delicious and easy breakfast or afternoon snack.
