BY MARGARITA MORGUN UTICA COLLEGE DIETETIC INTERN New Breakfast Idea : Fiber Filled Overnight Oats

At the beginning of the new year, I was given an opportunity through Utica College Dietetics’ interning program to intern at Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES Food Service Department under their Registered Dietitian, Hayley Mielnicki. With my studies as a nutrition student being mostly focused on the clinical aspect of a Registered Dietitian, this rotation provided wonderful insight into a dietitian’s role within the school nutrition world. One of the projects that I was involved in during my stay at the department was creating a new breakfast menu item to be served in their sixteen school districts. The new breakfast item was overnight oats, which included frozen mixed berries, yogurt, and oats. The students took a survey prior to tasting the overnight oats to identify what they would like as a new breakfast item and took a post-survey after breakfast was served for feedback. At the end of breakfast and after the post-survey was taken, there was positive feedback on the overnight oats from the students. From the survey results, most of the students appreciated the different fruits that were in the overnight oats, and the sweetness it had. Some students also added that it was a filling meal. The overnight oats also provide other nutritional values to the students. It is a caloric dense meal that provides a great amount of energy and a feeling of fullness for the student. The blueberries in the overnight oats are a reliable source of antioxidants which are essential in fighting off free radicals or the “bad guys” in the body and help maintain balance. Oats are a major source of carbohydrates and rich fibers, specifically soluble fibers, which increase satiety that lasts for a longer time. It also is a heart healthy grain option. The last ingredient is yogurt and is a reliable source of not only dairy but also protein, calcium, and potassium. It is also a great probiotic which maintains beneficial bacteria that is found in the gut.
