CREAMY, DREAMY CHOCOLATE OVERNIGHT OATS .. made with zucchini! Say what?! Kind of weird, but it works. The zucchini makes the oats extra moist and you won’t even know it’s there. Plus with the addition of creamy oat milk and rich cacao, these overnight oats are pure deliciousness.
One serving is ~260 calories with 16 grams of protein, making it a really satiating breakfast or snack, full of flavor and amped up with a little veggie action too.
