Overnight Oats to the Rescue for a Busy Morning

Overnight Oats

Mornings are tough! So little time and SO much to do! Sometimes my mornings are like a wicked game of beat the clock! If you aren't prepared your morning chaos will set the tone for your day. Who wants a chaotic day, really? To keep my morning chaos free, I pre measure my morning green juice (recipe coming soon ) and my breakfast Sunday nights. I prefer to do overnight oats when I am at work because I can eat them anywhere and I don't have to worry about heating or cooking. They are super easy to transport and will keep me full until I need lunch.

Basic recipe

1/3 cup rolled oats

2Tbsp each of chia, hemp seed, unsweetened coconut, nut of your choice

Handful of berries frozen or fresh

cinnamon to taste

3-4 drops Stevia

1/3-1/2c unsweetened non dairy milk of your choice

Mix everything up the night before and let sit overnight! Feel free to add different fruits and nuts to make different combinations
