Mocha Overnight Oatmeal

     For my very first overnight oats recipe, I think it is appropriate to share my very very favorite overnight oats recipe. This is a breakfast treat that I enjoy basically on a weekly basis, and I love the way that it turns out every single time. I love coffee, and I love chocolate, so it's great to enjoy both flavors together in a healthy breakfast!

My MESSY finished oatmeal (Sorry, I was really really hungry and too
impatient to take a good photo--oops!)

Mocha Overnight Oatmeal

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rolled or old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup milk of choice
• My Seed Mix: 1/2 tsp flax + 1/2 tsp chia + 1/2 tsp hemp (optional, but helps oats to thicken overnight)
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 tsp instant coffee
• 1 tbsp cacao powder
• Toppings of Choice (I used strawberries, homemade walnut butter, and melted coconut butter)

Make It!

1. In a blender (small magic bullet-type blender works well), combine milk, banana, seeds, coffee, and cacao powder and blend until smooth.
2. In a mason jar or other container with lid, combine oats and mocha mixture and shake!
3. Store in the fridge overnight or for several hours. 
4. In the morning, transfer to a bowl or leave in jar and add desired toppings.
5. Enjoy!
