Sometimes you just need a little pick-me-up from a coffee shop. Like right now, for example.





Or you can just have oatmeal.









Like everyone else, I am obsessed with chai. The amount of iced soy chais I get from the coffee shop on campus is ridiculous. But the spicy/sweetness of the drink just calls my name.













Vanilla Chai Overnight Oat Parfait





Step 1:

1/3 cup oats

2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 Tbsp chai concentrate*

1 Tbsp chia seeds

1/8 tsp cinnamon

pinch salt





Step 2:

2 Tbsp vanilla protein powder

2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk





Mix together the ingredients from step 1 in a container and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, take out and layer (or pour) the frosting from step 2 into the oats.





*can also be done with full strength brewed chai. If doing this, let oats sit overnight in about 2/3 cup tea and a splash almond milk.









With this batch, I heated up the oats a bit in the microwave so it was warm and comforting but keep the "icing" on the cooler side. Boom, exactly like a chai latte. What could be better on a chilly morning?









That's right, nothing.





My dog even wanted in on the action. How sweet is his face?









On a completely unrelated note, you all should follow honeyandnectar on instagram =D
