Overnight Oatmeal

Overnight Oatmeal is something that gets you excited for mornings again. Easy and simple to assemble the night before. Just grab the jar, and a spoon, and you're set to slay the day! If you are a meal prepper, you can make a few and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast in the morning. You can also enjoy it as an evening snack!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 Cup The Gourmet Granola (our favorites for overnight oatmeal - Cinnamon Vanilla, Lemon Almond, Mocha, or Orange Cardamom)
• 1-2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1/2 Cup Vanilla Almond Milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 Tbls Chia Seeds
• 1 Tbls Collagen
• 1 Tbls ground flax (optional)
• Drizzle of Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
• Toppings or mix-ins: banana, berries, nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS:
In a mason jar (or small bowl) add the granola, almond milk, protein powder, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Place the lid on the mason jar and give it a good shake (or stir if using a bowl). Place mixture in the fridge to chill overnight. Next morning enjoy straight from the jar and top with your favorite fruit or berries.
*If you like your oatmeal a bit thinner, add a splash of your milk of choice until you reach desired texture.

 *Pro tip - prep multiple jars with the dry ingredients, then during the week just add the milk, shake, and place in the fridge to enjoy in the morning.

Some of my favorite combos:

• Cinnamon Vanilla granola with a berry protein powder.
• Orange Vanilla granola mixed with a tablespoon of berry protein powder.
• Mocha Granola with mini chocolate chips.
• Peanut Butter granola with additional peanut butter powder and mini chocolate chips.
