Soaked Carrot Cake Protein Oats





I think for most of us, veggies are the most overlooked foodgroup for breakfast. And we all know how important it is to eat our veggies! You can get a full serving in this meal, plus all the delicious flavors of carrot cake!  

This can be made up in minutes, and looks so pretty in mason jars in your fridge you will WANT to eat it first thing when you wake in the morning. No more excuses to skip breakfast or grab something on the fly as you head to work!  Plus for those who want budget-friendly meals, this one will have you making over and over again, with literally tons of options. So time to get creative if you are new to overnight soaked oats!
