For the love of overnight oatmeal

Last week Dad challenged me to lose another 15-20 pounds this summer so I said he had to do it with me. And now here we are! 

I wanted to share a recipe that Dad is absolutely obsessed with and that is overnight oatmeal. I tried it last week when I was working the morning shift so I could have something prepped for me to eat when I got there and now dad asks me to make it for him every night. He takes it for breakfast and lunch when he has been going fishing and if that's not a score for healthy eating I don't know what is. 

It is so easy and totally customizable! 

Here's the base:
1/2 c oatmeal raw oatmeal 
2T chia seeds (optional) 
2/3c almond milk

My favorite additions are:
1T cocoa powder
1t Nutella
1t vanilla

Dad's additions are: 
1/2 a mashed banana 
2T plain Greek yogurt 
A small sprinkle of dried berries


Have you tried any good overnight oatmeal recipes? 

I'd love to hear them!
