I think I found a little piece of heaven in a mason jar!

On this journey of creating the new me I am learning a lot of things. I am a little bit of an adventurous soul so I like to try different flavors, ingredients, etc... The other day I made Overnight Oats for breakfast and it came out pretty good. last night I decided to alter that recipe and what a magical thing it became!

This particular batch of overnight oats I added some coconut cream and WOW - it was transformed! This will definitely be my new go to INDULGENT (because it does have quite a few calories) healthy treat!

I have modified the recipe for "treat" size below:

Overnight Steel Cut Oats - Delicious Desert Version
1/8 Cup Steel Cut Oats
1/4 Container So Delicious Coconut Yogurt (I used raspberry flavored)
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
1/4 Cup Coconut Cream
1/4 Cup Mixed Frozen Berries

Combine all ingredients except coconut cream and mixed berries in mason jar or small container with sealed lid, shake to mix and place in refrigerator overnight. In the morning, add coconut cream and top with the frozen berries. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Stir and enjoy!
