Apple Walnut Overnight Oats

1. In a medium to large container, whisk together the milk, almond butter, and yogurt until mostly smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and continue mixing until evenly combined.
2. Cover container and place in the fridge overnight. In the morning, enjoy oats chilled or heat in the microwave.

Notes: Non-dairy milk can be substituted for the ultra-filtered cow’s milk, but protein content will decrease unless a high-protein non-dairy milk is chosen. Choose certified gluten-free oats to be sure this recipe is free of gluten. The final flavors will be different, but almond butter could be swapped in for peanut or other nut butter, and other fruit can be used in place of the apple, such as grated pear, finely diced peach, or frozen berries.
