This is a wonderful way to enjoy your oatmeal without having to turn on the stove! These blended overnight oats are almost like an oatmeal pudding– with the added hidden benefit of chia and flax seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats.Â
Add your favorite toppings like fruit, granola and nut butter. Customize it by stirring in cocoa, cinnamon and vanilla or almond extract. I like mine topped with almond butter, while my husband enjoys it with blueberries.  So easy to prepare, too– just add everything to your blender, pop it in the fridge and enjoy breakfast the next morning!
