Chocolate Cherry Overnight Oats

Hey everyone! 

So, I've noticed there is currently an overnight oats craze going on in the health blogging world. I've always been intrigued and wanted to try them, and a few nights ago I realized I had everything I needed to make overnight oats in my dorm room. So what did I do? I tried them for the first time! 

Oats before thickening overnight

These were actually pretty good, although I think next time I'll experiment a bit more and use different flavors or yogurt and toppings. I would love to try making a key lime pie, banana cheesecake, or apple cinnamon variety!! Give this recipe a try for yourself and let me know what you think! 

Oats the next morning!
