Overnight Oats

Do you ever want a quick, yet healthy breakfast on the go in the mornings? Overnight oats are the perfect morning meal to get you through the day, especially if you have busier schedules with school, work, and maybe kids. It's a simple dish you can make the night before and the mason jars are the perfect way to carry around your breakfast! You can top this with any desired toppings that go well with oatmeal, and even make it dairy free as I have done, using almond and coconut milk.

Using mason jars in this recipe works out well because you can securely store it in the fridge with the lid and eat right out of it!

Packed with protein, potassium, and calcium, this quick fix is healthy yet delicious while giving you a kick of flavors!

While I was in college, I never had enough time to pack a lunch AND make breakfast in the mornings. So I decided to start preparing at least one of those meals the night before a long and busy day. I needed something that I could grab quickly, but that was also healthy and very filling.

I then came across the idea of "overnight oats" that was becoming popular among so many people! Then I thought, why not give it a try? I started to make these almost every few nights so that I would always have them around, and they became a hit with my family!

The oats, combined with the sweet and salty ingredients are absolutely to die for! This recipe is just a generalized base that can inspire you to make many different overnight oat creations. Feel free to experiment and send me any recipes you come up with!
