Kelsey is my wonderful intern. I'm so excited to have her help! Her sister Angie and I have been friends since college, and I have gotten to know their wonderful family over the years. Kelsey will make an awesome RD soon. Below is her first blog post about super popular Overnight Oats. Enjoy!

I am both excited and grateful to be a guest blogger and
intern for this amazing site! I would like to share with you one of my favorite
breakfast recipes. This recipe is essential to me since I am constantly rushing
out the door in the morning, yet I still know that I need to eat something for
breakfast (the most important meal of the day some will say). Right now I am a
full time student at ASU, a volunteer at a hospital and a dance/tumbling
instructor. My days consist of waking up and rushing out the door to the gym,
rushing to get to school and rushing to get to work. I do find time to relax
and do pilates and yoga every once in awhile!
I was first introduced to overnight oats at the Gilbert Farmer’s Market: Uprooted Kitchen. I was a bit skeptical because I was unsure if I would like oats that were chilled. After I tasted the first bite, I absolutely loved them. I then did a great deal of research on different recipes and found that the flavor possibilities were endless. I thought to myself, “I could make this every morning for breakfast and never get tired of it!” I am thrilled to share with you the favorite recipe that I have found for overnight oats. I have, no joke, been eating these for breakfast for the last week.
Overnight oats are a super quick and easy meal that will please anyone who likes flavored oats.

Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake/stir it together. Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator or up to three days and enjoy!
Once I take it out in the morning, I add a banana and 1 tablespoon hemp seeds for an extra crunch and protein.
Do not be afraid to try other ideas! I have only made the peanut butter banana but once I move pass my obsession with this flavor, I want to try blueberry maple, apple cinnamon, banana cocoa, etc.!!
Have fun and be creative! Hope you all enjoy!
