Overnight oats are a pretty popular quick grab breakfast dish that my friend Shari introduced me to a few years ago. It is high in protein and can be filled with any goodness you choose! I decided to bring it back into my morning routine because well...I need to make sure I fit into my wedding dress in a few months. I love this because I skip the sugar and fat I normally put into this dish and trade it with extra ingredients that pack protein and vitamins! Here is a basic recipe and few ideas for toppings!
Keep It Simple | Just The Basics:
1/4 -1/3 Cup Quick Oats
1/2-3/4 Cup (ish) Milk or Almond Milk
(seriously...that is it...)
