Overnight Oats *****

 Trying this for the first time, I used coconut milk (1/4 cup diluted with 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp chia seeds, and 1/8 tsp liquid monk fruit.

I just made this for the second time and tried 2 tsp chia seeds.  Really good!

   ¼ cup OG A2 yogurt

   1 tsp hemp hearts
   1/8 tsp powdered monk fruit
   
   
2. Combine: Add all ingredients (oats, liquid, yogurt, chia seeds) into a mason jar or container.
3. 
   
4. Stir: Mix thoroughly to ensure no dry oats remain.
5. 
   
6. Soak: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or overnight.
