I've always loved oatmeal, but don't always have the time to make it in the morning. I recently discovered overnight oats, which allow me to enjoy a bowl of oatmeal-like goodness without having to cook anything. It's easy, delicious and customizable!

If you're looking for an easy way to add more protein and fiber, try these delicious additions!
Add your favorite fresh fruits like bananas or apples. You can also add dried fruits like raisins and cranberries.
Add nuts: Nuts are high in antioxidants and contain healthy fats that can help stabilize blood sugar levels by helping us burn fat instead of carbohydrates (a source of energy). They're also loaded with fiber which helps us feel fuller longer so we don't overeat later on when we eat something else later on in the day!
