Chocolate Peanut Butter and Raspberry and Lemon Overnight Oats

Got an early start? Need a portable breakfast? Overnight oats have to be a go to option for a highly nutritious, filling and super yummy breakfast that won't see you slaving away the night before to prepare. Once called "bircher muesli" (although to be fair the classic version included apple juice and grated apples not seen here), overnight soaked oats have had a renaissance of late thanks to social media. 

We made these for a recent road trip that started very early in the morning. I'm all for convenient on the road options, but sometimes it feels good to start your holiday with something a little more nutritious. Whether you've got an early start at work, before school sport, an early morning gym session or road trip like me, I think these oats are a winner and are the perfect size for our two compartment lunch box.
