Recipe Alert: Easy Vegan Brownie Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a revelation to me!  An easy, delicious and nutritious way to enjoy healthy breakfasts without any of the fuss in the morning!  They are filling and packed with protein, good fats and all kinds of yummy stuff.  Eating a breakfast  high in protein will optimise your brain's ability to send messages to the rest of your body, ensuring you wake up properly and stay energised (and full!) until lunchtime.  Follow this delicious recipe and breakfast won't ever be the same again...

I mix all my ingredients together, place it in the fridge at night, and just forget about it until morning.
