{Apple and Granola Overnight Oats}

As you all may know...I have switched over from my beloved steel cut oatmeal to overnight oats. I am a huge believer in the power of oats. I love waking up and eating some form of oatmeal. I can pretty much find a way to sneak oats into my day rather it be a hot bowl of steamy oats, cold and creamy overnight oats or sweet oat bread with some nut butter. My cholesterol was genetically high when I was younger and now I have completely turned that around just by following a healthy clean lifestyle with lots of oats in the mix!

My go-to overnight oats always include almond milk and chia seeds. It is pretty much a chia pudding with some oats and fruit. I love this combo! I love yogurt but have never loved yogurt in my overnight oats. I don't know why. I just love the chia seed/oat combo.





I decided to switch up my usual and do more of an apple pie inspired overnight oat! Man...are these good!! I highly...I mean highly recommend that you try these! Most people are a little afraid of the whole cold oatmeal idea but after trying it....I feel sure you will be hooked!
