Yumi’s Organic Overnight Oats, described as a Canadian success story, have landed on shelves in Australia.
Developed by a team of dieticians and designed to be “good for people and the planet”, the product offers a “time saving and sustainable way to have a low-sugar nourishing breakfast ready to grab and go”.
Yumi’s Starter Pack includes a reusable glass jar and shelf stable sachets of mixed flavours such as Blueberry Vanilla and Apple Cinnamon.
The dietitian designed jars are promoted as removing the guesswork: “simply fill to the lines with milk, refrigerate overnight, and wake up to an organic, tasty, and nutrient dense breakfast that stays fresh for up to five days once prepared”.
“Yumi aims to help build healthy eating habits and support sustainable routines,” says Yumi founder Zoey Li. “It’s not just about creating a nutritious product; it’s about creating a product that people can build into a realistic, long-term breakfast habit – that fits well into a busy lifestyle.”
Raw oats are said to be rich in plant-based iron, zinc, and proteins, and can provide essential nutrients including vitamin B12. They are also promoted as a rich source of prebiotics and resistant starches, making them ideal for promoting gut health and keeping tummies full for longer.
Yumi’s organic oats are soaked rather than cooked, so they retain maximum B‑vitamins, antioxidants, and prebiotics. With “only” 210 calories per serve, Yumi’s “mood boosting” breakfast contains less than 6g of sugar and more than 20% of the recommended daily amount of fibre for women.
The range (RRP $9.95), which also features flavours such as Maple Cranberry, Peaches and Cream and Dark Choco, is available at IGA and independent grocery stores.
