Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

I am so excited that I found a oatmeal recipe I LOVE! With having no time in the morning to cook a gourmet breakfast anymore, this is great since I can make this the night before and let it sit in the fridge until the next morning.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats

1/3 cup almond milk

1/4 cup low fat greek yogurt

1 1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon honey

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or enough to fill the jar.

In a 1/2 pint jar or 1 cup jar put in the oats, milk, greek yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon and honey.  Put the lid on and shake that up!  Open up the jar and add in the applesauce to the top, cover and shake.  Refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Eat chilled!

If you try it, let me know what you think!
