Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!

I have a fun (green!) recipe that you’ll see later today, but first I just had to share my overnight oats with you.

If you’re a regular reader, you may remember a while back when I made Coconut Peanut Butter Honey Overnight Oats. And if you aren’t a regular reader, go check that recipe out!

Overnight oats make a fantabulous breakfast, lunch, or snack. Why?

Because they are:

• easy to prepare ahead of time
• great for busy people who work outside the home
• fun for freelancers, too!
• or even students
• loaded with nutrition – and flavor
• filling
• perfect for rushed mornings
• and more!

I can’t wait to try these cold, creamy, chewy, decadent overnight oats on a hot summer’s morning. I have a feeling this dish will be the perfect breakfast – or snack! – during the scorching summer months.

Check out how beautiful my overnight oats turned out!

So, whether you’re a student and/or are someone who is busy with your job – in or out of the home – overnight oats provide an amazingly yummy meal that not only tastes absolutely fantabulous, but is good for you, too!

And overnight oats can be whipped up any way you like. The ingredient possibilities are endless.

• fruit
• nuts
• seeds
• wheatberries
• nut butters
• chia seeds
• coconut oil
• avocado
• freshly ground flax seeds
• cocoa powder
• stevia
• raw honey
• and more!

Whatever your favorite flavor combos are, try ‘em in overnight oats. And be sure to experiment and try new things, too – it’s so fun!
