Overnight Oats
Notes
Breakfast is my favorite time of the day, unfortunately, most of the time I have to take my breakfast to go. This is why these overnight oats are a lifesaver for me. They are versatile and allow me to vary my fruit intake day by day.
Change the banana for 1/2 sliced apple and add cinnamon or 3/4 cup of a blueberry and strawberry mix!
As an alternative, on those days I need an extra protein serving or I am out greek yogurt, I add a scoop of previously mixed vegan protein. However, this alternative needs some extra milk or water to improve the consistency. Also, mix it up! you can add vanilla extract or even cocoa powder!
