This super, fun food is also easy to make! I can prepare one of these babies in under four minutes. The idea is to put all the goodness into a glass jar the night before, let is “cook” overnight in the fridge and you get to enjoy it the next morning.
I have enjoyed three different flavors of overnight oats this week, I may be addicted!
