Palm Springs Date Overnight Oats

Inspired by my popular Palm Springs date shake, these Date Overnight Oats are thick, creamy, sweet, and infused with warm notes of cinnamon. They taste indulgent but are made with nutritious, filling ingredients, and are deliciously protein-forward! Because they only take 5 minutes to prep ahead of time, these are one of my favorite healthy breakfast recipes for busy weeks. Prep several batches at once, and you’ll find yourself looking forward to breakfast in the morning!
