Overnight oats are the fastest and easiest way to start your day.  Put them together with a smoothie and you can be out the door in no time!  That is if you have anywhere to go during Covid 2020.  So maybe this will be a healthy and hearty way to begin your day while dealing with whatever struggles 2020 has put in your way, and we all have had challenges this year!  This will also be one of my shortest posts as they are so easy to make

I love coffee. I love the flavor and all the possibilities that it provides for so many recipes.  I could drink coffee ALL DAY LONG but I restrain myself in order not to consume so much caffeine…but who doesn’t love the bittersweet aroma of fresh coffee?!?

This is why I had to come up with this Vanilla Latte Overnight Oats recipe. The overnight oats with a hint of vanilla and sweet milk, mixed with freshly brewed espresso and topped with greek vanilla yogurt and honey almond granola.  YUM – I can’t even tell you!  

You can also use Cold Brewed Coffee, and while I know it’s ‘retail’ Starbucks Iced Coffee, medium roast and sugar-free is my favorite iced coffee you can find in almost any grocery store.

This Vanilla Latte Overnight oat tastes similar to coffee ice cream mixed with that thick and creamy vanilla yogurt.  Add in the granola crunch and you get a really diverse texture which just adds to the flavor in my opinion! It is delicious!

What do you need to make overnight oats?

Old fashioned rolled oats  

Your favorite milk and sweetener

That’s it, these are the basics, from here the possibilities are endless!

So, if 2020 has got you down and I think we are all running a little bit ragged these days, take a few minutes before you go to bed to prep this recipe and you will be greeted in the morning by a tasty and nutritious treat!
