TURMERIC CHIA OVERNIGHT OATS {gf}

When I'm recovering from a whirlwind weekend, or I'm simply too tired to cook, I’ll cozy up with bowl of overnight oats. The chia and oats provide tons of fiber, which helps balance blood sugar levels and keep you fuller longer. For more info on the benefits of turmeric, check out my golden mylk recipe. 
Here is my simple and nutrient dense overnight oats recipe, that you can prepare the night before a busy morning and devour on the go. You can also use this recipe as a base for other flavors like chocolate PB, blueberry, or matcha!
