Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats

Looking for a new healthy breakfast treat?

If you love lemon cheesecake or just lemon in general, then you will love this way of preparing oats. Preparation time in a matter of minutes - it just needs to be done the night before. So grab yourself a jar and mix this up tonight and thank us tomorrow morning!

The next morning mix together the yogurt ingredients in a seperate bowl and layer it on top of the oats before eating. The coconut yogurt adds delicious creaminess to the oats. It really feels like you are eating a dessert for breakfast. You can opt to leave the yogurt layer off if you prefer, as the lemon oats are still yummy by themselves.
