Overnight Oats
Here's my favorite recipe for overnight oats! Feel free to make it your own. Overnight oats are a simple, healthy breakfast that you can make ahead for busy mornings. The recipe below yields 1 serving, so make as many servings (each in a separate jar) as you'd like. Overnight oats will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

In a jar or bowl (a 14-ounce working jar or 1-pint mason jar is perfect), combine the muesli (or old-fashioned oats and cinnamon), chia seeds and nut butter. Add a splash of the milk and mix the nut butter into the oats. Then add the rest of the milk and stir to combine. Top with your fruit of choice. (If you used more milk than 1/2 cup and you want your fruit to stay on top, wait to top the oats until you're ready to serve. If you're using fruit that doesn't store well, like sliced apple or banana, wait to top the oats until you're ready to serve.) Place the lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight, or up to 5 days. When you're ready to serve, add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if you'd like, and enjoy chilled.
