2.Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours.

I'm someone that really enjoys breakfast but I like sleeping even more. Because of that, I always like to have some breakfast food on hand that is quick to eat and can be prepped the night before. Overnight oats definitely fit that category and are great for the life of a student. In this week, I incorporated the theme by using the whole grain of oats. I have had overnight oats a few months ago, but I remember them being very unsatisfying. The previous one I made tasted too much like a mashed banana, but the one I made yesterday fit the bill better. I think it also mattered which greek yoghurt I used. The kind that I used for this was more liquidy whereas the previous kind was more solid. I also felt as though the chia seeds added nice texture which could have been missing from the other recipe. Overall, I was happy with how these turned out.
