I kept seeing people in the “foodie world” use near-empty nut butter jars as containers for overnight oats and thought it was kind of stupid. So I decided to do it too.. because… gotta be like the cool kids, right?
All judgement aside, this is actually an awesome way to reuse your nut butter jars one last time before they’re thrown into the abyss of what hopefully ends up being born-again, recycled plastic. It’s the perfect serving size and is such an easy, quick way to prep for breakfast the night before a busy day! BUSY PEOPLE- I’m lookin’ at you!!!
My FAVE Justin’s Almond Butter kicked the can last night and I decided to make my own little recipe 🙂 Feel free to use whatever brand you like best, but Justin’s is a personal go-to for me because of the flavor + quality of their almond butter. I think you’re all going to flip out when you make this, because its FREAKING AMAZING!! I’m not just saying that! I used my Homemade Cashew Milk and Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen, and I swear that’s why this recipe is off the hook!
