Easy Overnight Oats

Hey guys! Hope you’re having a nice weekend so far 🙂

Thought I’d share a quick recipe for overnight oats that I prepared last night and ate this morning. Oats are a great way to start off the morning because they fill you up, are a great source of fiber, and can help lower cholesterol which makes them heart-smart! They are also rich in magnesium, iron, and vitamin B. I also added in some ground flax seed which is high in omega-3s and fiber, and can also help achieve healthy hair and nails. Overall, overnight oats are a great choice for a healthy breakfast that will help you lose weight and maintain good digestive health.

What you’ll need:
