Mornings are rough at my house.  These refrigerator oats are a great option for tired, busy mornings.  Prepared the night before in my handy mini-mason jars, they are easy to grab and go.  And they pack a nutritional punch with app. 12 grams of protein and good carbs to start the day.  They make a great mid-day snack, too!

ingredients (for 1 serving)

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 tsp chia or flax seeds (optional)
• 1 TBSP natural peanut butter
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3-1/2 med banana, chopped into small cubes
• 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (I like unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk)

Add the ingredients in the order listed above in a small mason jar or other container.  Shake, shake, shake until mixed thoroughly.  Refrigerate overnight. I like to make 3-4 for the week on Sunday night.  Grab in the morning and go!
