This recipe is one of the best make-ahead recipes we have. It stems from the original Overnight Protein Oats, but modifies the ingredients to make it seasonal and fresh! I make about 4x this recipe over the weekend for breakfast and snacks through out the week. These apple flavored protein oats are a great source of vegan protein and full of healthy ingredients like chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon and oats.
