Overnight Oats!!

Overnight oats are a phenomenal breakfast.  So easy, so versatile, you can make them in a snap.  No cooking necessary!  You can make a week's worth of grab-and-go breakfast in 5 minutes.

You will need,

Rolled oats

Milk (rice, soy, cow, coconut)

In a sealable container combine 1 part oats with 1 to 2 parts milk (depending on how thick you like it.  Definitely experiment!).  Add the tasty and delicious add-ins, seal, and refrigerate overnight!.  

Tasty and delicious add-ins.  Add one or more!

- apple bits

- apple butter

- pumpkin butter

- peanut butter

- 1 or 2 tablespoons of flavored protein powder

- bananas

- chia seeds (I honestly add them to almost every batch)*

- chocolate milk or cocoa powder or nesquik

- yogurt, plain or flavored 

- cinnamon

- maple syrup

- berries

- peaches, pears, or nectarines
- honey

- jam or preserves

*The chia seeds add a huge punch of healthy omega-3s as well as fiber and a wee bit of protein. I like to add them simply because they have a glutinous effect.  They ooey-gooefy the oats, and I just love that texture.  You can put them in the night before or the morning of! 

They're teensy tiny, but they absorb the liquid until their little shells burst and make the oatmeal even better!
