Keeping up with Katy: Trim Down Tuesday: Overnight Oats

I went out on a limb, tried something I never thought I'd like, and now it's my new favorite breakfast/snack.

Like I crave it.

And there are not many healthy things that I crave. #rabbitfoodisboring

For this Trim Down Tuesday, I give you...

Overnight Oats

Celebrities swear by it, but as I don't have any red carpet appearances on my calendar, it wasn't even on my radar. Then Mercedes made me try some at work, and it wasn't half bad! Then I made my own batch on a whim, and by the end of the jar - I was hooked.

They're so filling, so tasty, and such a great detox. And if that wasn't enough for you - you make them the night before, so they're easy and quick to just grab-n-go the next morning.

If you don't like oatmeal - don't write me off. Jeff hates oatmeal and he's hooked, too.

If the thought of cold soaked oats grosses you out (and I understand how it would) - don't knock it til you try it. I never thought I would like this...and I love it.

There are all kinds of concoctions out there to try (pinterest, anyone?), but this is my staple go-to recipe:

What You'll Need

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tbsp chia (or flax) seeds

1 tbsp raw agave

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 small apple (chopped)

What You'll Do

Before you go to bed, mix the oats, milk, seeds and agave together in a container (with a lid).

Place in refrigerator.

The next morning (or prior to eating), mix in cinnamon and diced apple.
