Overnight Protein Oats
This overnight protein oats recipe is great for those busy mornings when you’re rushing around trying to get ready for work or getting the kids ready for school.
These Overnight Oats are so quick and easy to make, it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare the night before. In the morning you can grab them on your way out.
I like to have mine when I get to work, my stomach is a bit more awake.
Life is busy and hectic these days, don’t let this prevent you from having a healthy breakfast. Make these overnight oats instead of grabbing some junk food on your way to work.
Another great thing about these oats is you can add almost anything to the base recipe to make them more interesting.
