Strawberry Peach Overnight Oats

Happy National Oatmeal Day!  No, I'm not kidding, Happy National Oatmeal Day!  

A few weeks ago I was approached by Driscoll's to do a post incorporating their berries and oatmeal.  Consider it done.  Here are some fun facts: 

--Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces low-density lipoproteins

(LDL), or the "bad," cholesterol.

--Five to 10 grams of soluble fiber daily can decrease your total and LDL
cholesterol.

--Eating 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal provides 3g of soluble fiber. If you
add a serving of fruit such as berries, you'll consume five grams of soluble
fiber in one sitting!

--Age-defying antioxidants in berries keep the mind sharp, eyesight keen,
and help to strengthen immunity.

And besides all of that good for you stuff--berries actually taste pretty stinking good.  Yes, I am now a berry liker.  I wouldn't say lover but I'm working on it.  

I have been wanting to try these "overnight oats" that people keep raving about and this was my opportunity.  Although it was interesting to eat cold oatmeal I think I will start making these on the regular.  Super easy to whip up, portable and oh so healthy.  Here is the recipe: 

 Start with these beauts. Give them a good wash, destem and chop.  Set aside for now.

 In a mason jar, pour in the oats

 Milk..yeah I spilled everywhere.

 Greek yogurt…yum.  I used peach yogurt hence the "Strawberry Peach Overnight Oats."

 And strawberries.  How pretty is that?

 Give it a quick stir and into the fridge it goes…overnight.

 The next day take out your oats

 Give it a good stir and you are good to go.

 Brekky.

Yum.
