You’re going to flip for these sweet and satisfying overnight oats. Just prep them the night before and you’ll wake up to a delicious breakfast in the a.m. I added hemp seeds to provide a dose of plant-based protein, fiber, heart-healthy fats, and zinc to boost immunity. If you prefer to enjoy your oats warm, simply make this version in the microwave (in 2 minutes!) by adding an extra ½ cup of milk or water. Grab your spoon and dig in.
