Making these Cherry Overnight Oats for Breakfast? Dessert? Who knows, and who cares! It’s delicious, Gluten Free and super good for you!

Cherry Overnight Oats with Cherry Banana Nice Cream

I went to the market early this week and bought a huge bag of cherries. As I’m sure you know, cherry season is nearly over; what you may not know, however, is that I love love cherries. If they weren’t so expensive, I would probably eat an entire (big) bag of these on the regular. For the sake of my bank account, I decided to buy this bag of cherries and see how many recipes I could make with it (sorry, guys. I did not weigh the bag- one thing I never do when I shop, but should probably start).

Anyway, this was the first of three recipes and the perfect midweek treat (no, these are not from today. I’m not that fast with turnaround time). Creamy overnight oats (a huge favorite around here), loads of sweet cherries, crunchy cocoa nibs and, my favorite part, banana cherry nice cream.

YOU GUYS!

If you have some cherries or can get your hands on cherries, I can assure you, you want to make this. Perfect any time of day, it is also the perfect (HEALTHY) treat to curb all those annoying dessert cravings. Or fuel up after a hard workout. Or just because.
