Magnesium Overnight Oats - Chocolate Pumpkin Spice version! At Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation and Migraine at School we love to give you recipes that are fun but can also help to support those hard days with migraine. This is an easy way to get in some extra magnesium for migraine prevention through food + add some fiber, omega 3’s, and even protein.

This was so incredibly good that I feel like it could pass for a healthy dessert if you add the chocolate shell on top. If you’re sensitive to chocolate - this is easy to edit with carob or just completely leave out.

Pumpkin Chocolate “Magnesium” Overnight Oats
Makes 4 servings

For the oats:
2 cups rolled oats
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds or 3 tablespoons pumpkin seed protein powder
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (I used 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon ginger)
Pinch of mineral salt
2 1/4 cups milk (can use plant milk)
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup yogurt or cottage cheese

For the chocolate topping:
½ heaping cup chocolate chips or carob chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions:
Blend oats, chia, pumpkin seeds (or protein powder), pumpkin pie spice, mineral salt, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, mineral salt till smooth. Spoon into 4 glass jars. Top each jar with ¼ cup yogurt or cottage cheese, spreading it all the way to the edges of the jar.

Meanwhile melt the chocolate chips (or carob) and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate has just melted (it should be thin enough to pour - if not stir in more coconut oil). Pour on top of the yogurt and allow it to harden in the fridge. Allow it to chill in the fridge for 2-4 hours before serving.

Would you know what to look for if you were worried a friend might be thinking about su***de? And would you know what to do next?

This conversation matters in the migraine community. Research has found that people with migraine have a higher risk of suicidal thoughts and su***de attempts.

For our foundation, this is also deeply personal. Danielle lived with chronic migraine and died by su***de at 17. Her life and her experience are why the Danielle Foundation exists.

Sometimes, especially when someone lives with migraine or chronic pain, it can be easy to hear statements like “I can’t do this anymore” and assume they’re talking about the pain. Don’t assume. Ask.

We want you to know how to recognize when a friend may need help, how to ask directly about su***de, and what you can do to help keep them safe and connect them with support.

You don’t have to be a mental health professional to notice when something has changed. You don’t have to have all the right words to ask about su***de. And you don’t have to handle it alone.

SAVE this so you know what to do if you’re ever worried about a friend. And SHARE it. Someone else may need to know this too.

In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. You can also contact 988 if you’re worried about someone else. If there is an immediate life-threatening emergency, call 911.

What if the thing you’ve been blaming for your migraine attack… was actually one of the first signs it had already started?

Food cravings, sensitivity to light or smells, sleep changes and neck pain can all be part of a migraine attack, which can make triggers surprisingly hard to figure out.

What’s something you spent YEARS thinking was a migraine trigger? 👇

Tell us in the comments. We have a feeling this could get interesting. 🤍

Homemade Cola: 🫚 I’ve been told this tastes like a combo of Coca Cola and Pepsi, but with all natural ingredients that have actually been studied for pain and nausea relief. No corn syrup or dyes! Comment RECIPE to have it sent to you to save for later.

As a recipe developer for people with migraine, I brainstormed recipe ideas with my Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation and Migraine at School team and it was clear Coke and Pepsi were favorites. Some were helped by the caffeine, but others liked the flavor to settle the stomach or the bubbles for nausea. I wanted to recreate it in a way that used less ultra processed ingredients, with ginger and cinnamon bringing some evidence-based relief for both pain (PMID: 34851560) and nausea.

If caffeine is helpful, you can also use drops to add it!!

Obviously if your friend wants an actual Coke we don’t recommend “tricking” them (can’t believe I have to say this). This is just a fun way to try something new and ideal for people who find the flavors comforting or good for nausea, or who might be sensitive to the regular version (like me!)

Homemade Cola
Makes 4-6 drinks

1 large orange
1 lemon
1 lime
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
1 1/4 cups filtered water
1/2 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp. coriander
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Pinch mineral sea salt
Sparkling water

For more detailed instructions, just comment RECIPE.

Use a peeler to remove the peels from the orange, lemon, and lime. Set the peeled fruit aside, you’ll only use the lime juice later, if desired. Heat everything but the sparkling water over a small pot. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat, simmering for 15 min. Allow the mix to cool on the stove 15 min. Strain the mixture then add 2-4 ounces to a glass with ice. Top with sparkling water and stir in caffeine drops, if desired.

Enjoy!!

Words matter, especially when we talk about su***de and migraine.

Danielle suffered from debilitating chronic migraine from age 8, and her story is why we care so deeply about how su***de is discussed.

The phrase “committed su***de” can sound criminalizing or imply blame. Su***de is not a crime.

That’s why we say “died by su***de.” It is more compassionate, less stigmatizing, and keeps the focus on the person, not the manner of death.

For us, that person is Danielle. 💜

We cannot keep talking about migraine as if the worst thing it can do is cause head pain.

Migraine can affect every part of a person’s life, including their ability to see a way forward.

Danielle lived with severe migraine disease from childhood, and our family watched it take more and more from the life she was fighting to hold onto. Danielle died by su***de at 17.

Her story is why we are committed to giving people practical tools, support, education, and a community that understands what living with migraine can actually feel like.

Our FREE Migraine Management Program helps adults and kids + teens build practical skills for navigating life with migraine. We also offer a FREE Migraine Management Support Group.

Danielle is why this work began. You are why it continues.

Sometimes the thing you blamed for triggering a migraine attack may actually have been a sign that the attack had already begun.

Chocolate is a good example. Chocolate is commonly reported as a migraine trigger, but craving chocolate can also happen during migraine prodrome. The same kind of confusion can happen with light sensitivity, mood changes, fatigue and neck pain.

Migraine triggers ARE real. But migraine is also complicated.

Is there a migraine “trigger” you now wonder might actually be a symptom?
