This overnight oats recipe is easily one of my favourites, probably top 3! It’s decadent flavours belie the fact that it is healthy and packed full of nutrition that will keep you from the snacks right through until lunch.
One of the things I really rate about OO’s is that some of them taste like they could be desserts (the clue’s in the title with this one!). This can be a great way to get your kids eating something a whole lot healthier than the standard boxes of sugar loaded cereals that we all had as kids. Try making this for them and I guarantee they’ll be asking for more! Don’t skimp on the lemon, it really makes the whole recipe sing!
What a great way to kick start your day!
