Today, we’ll delve into why Cinnamon Spice Caramel Apple Overnight Oats needs to replace your morning donut!   The Delicious Ingredients Before we get into the fantastic health benefits, let’s take a moment to appreciate the mouthwatering ingredients that make up this amazing recipe.

THE INGREDIENTS:

Salted Caramel Vegan Protein Powder: Protein is an essential part of your diet, helping with muscle recovery and keeping you full until your next meal. Vegan protein powder is not only an excellent source of plant-based protein but also adds a delightful caramel flavor to this dish.

Honey Crisp Apple: An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Honey crisp apples are known for their sweet, crisp taste, making them a perfect complement to this dish. Apples provide a dose of fiber and essential vitamins to kickstart your day.

Almond Milk: This dairy-free alternative is not only creamy and delicious but also low in calories and a good source of vitamin E. Almond milk is ideal for those looking to cut down on dairy consumption.  I will often times replace Almond Milk with Coconut Milk instead for even more flavor.

Honey: Nature’s sweet nectar adds a touch of sweetness without the need for processed sugars. Honey is also packed with antioxidants and boasts various health benefits.s Buy local honey as it helps your allergies sis!

Chia Seeds: Talking about SUPER FOODS!! These tiny seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients, providing fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add a satisfying crunch.

Cinnamon: Great for diabetics!! The star of the show, cinnamon adds a warm and comforting flavor. Beyond its amazing taste, cinnamon is also known for its potential health benefits.

Dried Rolled Oats: The ones to eat if you’re trying to lower your cholesterol!! Oats are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber. They’re the foundation of this recipe, providing lasting energy throughout your morning.

Now that we’ve covered the ingredients, let’s get into…
