Whether I'm working in the office or at home, I want a healthy lunch that doesn't take a tremendous amount of time or energy to make and travels well. It needs to be something I can grab and go as I'm running out the door and something that is nutritious, healthy, and satisfying. I don't have time to eat 4 meals during my feeding window (noon - 8pm) so I want nutrient-dense meals that are going to pack a punch.  These overnight oats are delicious and absolutely fit the bill.

These overnight oats take 5 minutes to make and I'll generally do them before heading to bed. One jar makes a pretty large serving and because of both the chia seeds and oats, you're getting a good amount of fiber in as well. 

Variations:

1. Replace raspberries with the fruit of your choice - strawberries, blueberries, apricots, you name it.

2. Use the milk of your liking. I don't consume dairy so I chose to use almond milk and an almond yogurt. Have a nut allergy? Use coconut milk and yogurt. Soy and regular milk will work as well.

3. Instead of almond butter, use another nut butter.

4. Add cacao if you are looking for something more dessert-like

Each jar is a meal unto itself and will fill you up. If you don't add the nut butter to the top, fat, and proteins will both drop.

What do you include in your overnight oats?
