If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you will love this!
Just like eating dessert for breakfast, only with health benefits.
Overnight oats are a popular breakfast in Switzerland.
They were created by Dr. Maximillian Bircher for his patients in Zurich because it helps to slow digestion and feel fuller, longer.

Instructions
Place all ingredients into a medium bowl or mason jar; mix until combined.
Seal tightly and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
