Blackberry Smoothie Overnight Oats Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup blackberries

1⁄2 cup almond milk

1⁄2 cup vanilla yogurt

1 1⁄4 cup quick cooking oats

DIRECTIONS:

To make blackberry smoothie overnight oats, combine the blackberries, almond milk and yogurt and blend. Pour half the smoothie mixture into a glass or jar. Add the oats. Top with remaining smoothie mixture.

Using a butter knife, poke several holes down through to the bottom of the glass so that the smoothie mixture will be able to penetrate all the way through the oats. Refrigerate 6 hours, or overnight. Top with fresh blackberries and almonds and serve.
