Overnight Maple Chia Oats

Oatmeal is one of the best nutritional decisions you can make! It keeps our weight in check, cholesterol down, and is super affordable! There are a lot of varieties to choose from, but on the nutritional front they  are all similar. Be sure to choose one that you like versus what you feel lIke you "should" be buying.
