Breakfast in a Jar Week! - Overnight oats overload!

Overnight oats are so popular right now, as are meals in jars so this was a natural next step for my healthy eating to take.  
                     


I am not so good at mornings so preparing break the night before and being able to grab it and go if I have really overslept is the dream come true (as long as I have a coffee in the other hand). 

General Recipe (Serves 1 / 1 jar)
1/3 cup oats (I like jumbo for the bite!)
1/3 cup milk of your choice
1/3 cup yogurt (I swear by Total 0% Yogurt because it is thick and creamy and isn't filled with sugar to make up for being low fat)
1/3 cup fruit and any chia seeds or choc chips etc
Plus any nuts, seeds and fruits to add the morning of consumption - yum!

Method
Put everything in the jar and stir it up, leave overnight and enjoy the next morning with any extras you fancy e.g. fruit, nuts and COFFEE! Easy.
