A Deceptively Easy Breakfast That Powers Up the Body With Protein

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but when it comes to any and all things cookie dough, I'm in. I was able to put my raw habit to rest after mixing up this chickpea cookie dough snack for the first time, and now I can enjoy another iteration of that sweet stuff with this overnight oats combination.

It does not get any easier than combining a few ingredients before bed, popping your jar into the fridge, and grabbing a spoon when you're ready to enjoy it the following morning. The creamy combination of almond milk and Greek yoghurt makes these overnight oats taste just like the classic treat.
