Introduction: Overnight Patriotic Oats

About: I'm self taught. I like to make things. (I'm also very thrifty and I don't care much for shopping, so I make a lot of my gifts.) I'm pretty much a do-it-yourselfer.

These overnight oats are patriotic! Why? Because they are red, white and blue of course! They are cool and creamy and filled with healthy, yummy, super foods, and the best part is, you don't have to do anything in the morning! Just layer everything in the jar the night before, and put it in the fridge!
