Overnight Oatmeal

I always like to try NEW things for breakfast, and when I saw this recipe on PINTEREST, I thought I'd give it a go. Once I mixed it together for the NIGHT, I started to wonder if it would actually be GOOD. Not only was it good, it was fabulous—not to mention pretty darn HEALTHY too! Hope you love it . . .


Overnight Oatmeal
1/2 cup oats
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Add ins:
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
1 small banana, mashed (I saved a bit and sliced it for the top)

OR

2 tablespoons peanut or almond butter
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup

In a mason jar or glass bowl, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, and chia seeds. Cover with a lid or plastic and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, stir in your choice of add ins and enjoy! It makes a pretty large bowl!

TIP: This is a great recipe to experiment with—you can add whatever you want and I'm almost positive it will be delish. Things like brown sugar, coconut (maybe toasted!), and mango, all sorts of berries and nuts, any sort of jam or preserve, or even things like cinnamon and pumpkin, and chocolate or cocoa. Just find your favorite combo!
