This is the first time, however I have ventured into the Overnight Oats category. I know, I know…you feel like maybe I have been living under a rock and not noticed the Overnight Oats craze. Well, I haven’t in fact. Been living under a rock. 🙂 It’s just taken me a while to try this “style” of oats. Try them I have and it was the right thing to do.

There’s no cooking involved here. The mixture is just stirred together in a bowl, placed in individual serving jars and left in the fridge over night.

I opted to use this delicious (new on the market) Meadow Gold Protein Milk and they turned out so good!

They are so handy to grab and go in the morning, or just to eat as a snack. If you have time, pour the oats into a little bowl and add a few toppings. I went with more bananas, pecans and mini chocolate chips.
