Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Thanks to Travis Scott, this song comes to mind whenever I an apple pie or even hear the word apple pie. I feel like a teenager for still going to Genius to look up lyrics. But let me tell you, there are some seriously smart and intelligent rappers out there. Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky to name a few. I hope that doesn't sound like a backhanded compliment because it's not.
Let's talk food now! I think I've mentioned before how much I love canvas food. If oats aren't a canvas food, I don't know what is. I've already posted two overnight oats recipes; PB & Cacao and Carrot Cake. I've also made overnight oats with sweet potatoes and it was delicioussss. I posted the recipe for that one on Instagram.
I especially love preparing overnight oats for mornings I know I'll be doing some kind of hard workout. They're also great to take to school or to the office on busy mornings. However, I still encourage you to wake up a few minutes early to relax and eat breakfast. Mornings are so beautiful, don't ruin them by waking up late and rushing to wherever you need to be.
