Snickers Overnight Oats!
I’m pretty hooked on these oats.
Honestly, I didn’t anticipate liking them that much, but they surprised me. I’m not sure whether it’s the comforting flavor combo of peanut butter and chocolate or the incredible creaminess of the oats, but these overnight oats are spectacular. Plus, I like the fact that it’s cold, which makes it strangely refreshing and almost dessert-like.
From a foolproof standpoint, it really doesn’t get much better than these bad boys, and there’s a fighting chance that you already have most of the ingredients for overnight oats in your pantry. All you have to do is blend some oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate protein powder, put the mixture in the fridge while you get your beauty sleep, and you’re done. (I like to refrigerate the oats in mason jars because they’re cute and portable, but that’s obviously not essential.)
In addition to their deliciousness and convenience, these overnight oats are literally packed with health benefits. First and foremost, oats are an excellent whole grain source of antioxidants and fiber, and they help reduce your risk of practically every disease in the book (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc.). Peanut butter adds protein and healthy fat, and the chocolate protein powder and Greek yogurt provides a satiating effect with over 20 grams of protein per serving.
In short, eating a serving of this oatmeal will keep you full, energized and happy for hours!
