OVERNIGHT CARAMEL GINGERBREAD OATS

Overnight Caramel Gingerbread Oats image

Using a high-protein drink like Premier Protein® Salted Caramel and gingerbread morphs this regular overnight oats into the flavors of fall. I find adding the spices overnight dilutes the flavors, so I suggest waiting to add most of the spices before serving.
