Family-Friendly Overnight Oat Recipes
In case some of you did not already know, we have a kitchen in the heart of our yoga center! We built it specifically so that our staff and students could have a space in between classes to meet and gather over coffee, tea, and snack. Not only is the kitchen the heart of the home, but also our yoga center! Today, we are sharing some yummy overnight oat recipes that our team came up with during our last kitchen gathering.
We’ve put together three different variations that even your little ones will love, plus all you need to do is prep them the night before, toss them in the fridge, and then grab ‘n go on the way to school in the morning. Check them out below and let us know what you think! There are plant based modifications for each version and all variations take under 5 minutes to prep. Absolute magic if you ask us! But you be the judge, let us know how it goes! Starbucks Inspired Vanilla Bean
