Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats

SERVES 2

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk of choice
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
• 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
• 1 Tablespoon fruit spread of choice (NO ADDED SUGAR)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 Tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
• Fresh fruit for topping (such as banana slices, berries, or apple slices)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), peanut butter, fruit spread, vanilla extract, and chia seeds (if using). Stir well to ensure all ingredients are mixed together.
2. Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
3. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add your choice of fresh fruit on top for added flavor and nutrition.
4. Enjoy! You can eat the oats cold directly from the fridge, or if you prefer, you can warm them up in the microwave for a minute before adding the fresh fruit topping.

Tips:

• Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or maple syrup if desired.
• You can also add nuts or seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrition.

This recipe is versatile and can be customized with different nut butters or fruit spreads to suit your taste. Enjoy your healthy and satisfying breakfast!
