Espresso Overnight Oats

Learn how to meal prep this easy Espresso Overnight Oats so you have both food and caffeine ready to go in the morning!

Today has been one of those days in the land of motherhood…

O thought it would be a good idea to start the day at 530am.
I spilled my coffee all over the kitchen counter and floor.
Nana called and said she couldn’t make it this afternoon to help with Octavian.
After fighting sleep for more than 45 minutes at nap time, I had to drive my overtired toddler around the neighborhood to get him to sleep (thank the Universe he transfers!).

Ok, so in the grand scheme of things, the morning wasn’t THAT bad. But sometimes, some days just feel harder than other days.

Days like today inspired me to create the ultimate grown-up lazy breakfast. Whatever I was going to make it needed to be easy (duh) and preferably something with caffeine.

Say hello to my new bff, Espresso Overnight Oats.  Similar to basic overnight oats, this recipe includes extra protein and caffeine!

You can make this super breakfast the night before, it’s super healthy, takes just 5 minutes to prepare AND it has caffeine.

Yep, wake up juice…that won’t spill all over the kitchen counter and floor. You’re welcome.
