Overnight Oats

The post- holiday blues plus some over ambitious resolutions can make motivation hard to find.  This quick, easy breakfast can help you stay on track with your 2018 wellness resolutions.  Feel free to use your own combinations of favorite fruits.  All you need to do is throw ingredients in a bowl at night and you’ve got a healthy breakfast ready to go! Add nuts or nut butter for protein and a healthy fat, or try sunflower butter if there is a nut allergy in the house.
