Would it be too dramatic to say, I REALLY think this bowl of overnight oats tastes like banana bread? I TOTALLY DO!!

Here I have a post for high protein overnight oats that includes Greek yogurt. I love this idea, because it’s a nice balance of macronutrients.

However, with this recipe, I didn’t include the greek yogurt. Instead, I would eat this with a hard boiled egg if I need some protein with it, on the go.
