Overnight Oats
Here is how to make overnight oats. They are so easy. I like that I can make it the night before because mornings can sometimes be busy. They are a good way to include things like flax seed (improves digestion), hemp hearts (extra protein), sunflower seeds (magnesium), or chia seeds (omega 3s) into your diet. I like to use mason jars to prepare them in.
