Notes

Fresh Peanut Butter: It is easier to blend the oats if you have fresh, smooth, pourable peanut butter. If your peanut butter has hardened somewhat pop it in the microwave to soften. 
Save your Bananas: No banana should ever go to waste. Once they ripen, peel and throw in the freezer. This way you can pull them out as you need them to add to oats, smoothies, or to make banana bread. 
Make a Double Batch – If you want to have a quick and easy go-to breakfast for a few days, go ahead and double or triple the recipe. 
Adjust the Amount of Milk – Feel free to add more milk if you like your overnight oats more watery. 
Swap the Peanut Butter: If you aren’t a fan of peanut butter you can use any nut or seed butter you like. 
Add some Crunch: Top your overnight oats with chopped nuts, or seeds to add more texture. 
Up the Protein: For even more staying power, mix in a tablespoon of your favorite protein powder; plain or vanilla would both work well.
