Think you don’t have time to for a healthy breakfast? Check out these quick and simple Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats!

Overnight oats makes it easy to get the morning fuel your brain and body need and saves you loads of time too, with most of the prep work happening the night before. And don't worry, it'll take you less than five minutes!

This classic flavor combo of apple and cinnamon is delightful and the heartiness of the oats will keep you going strong all morning long! I have to be honest, the first time I had this I felt like I was eating dessert for breakfast…yes, it’s really that good!!

Did you know... oats are a whole grain packed with nutrients like manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, dietary fiber and more. This good-for-you carb is also a good source of protein, coming in higher than most other whole grains. And oats contain properties that have been shown to help lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, promote a healthy gut and support a heart health. PLUS, studies show they're great for supporting a healthy waistline by helping you feel fuller longer. Talk about one powerful grain!

1/2 C oats (can sub with gluten free)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 C vanilla unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 large apple, diced (my favorite is honeycrisp!)
Crushed walnuts to garnish (optional)

Cover the oatmeal mixture and place in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, add 1/2 diced apple and walnuts, sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon for added sweetness and enjoy!
