CHERRY ALMOND OVERNIGHT PROATS
The cherry and almond combo is always a winner in my books.  And here this dynamic duo finds perfect harmony in a make-ahead meal that is packed with all the goods -- vitamins & minerals, antioxidants, fibre, healthy fats, and protein! Honestly, there are few breakfasts as simple and satisfying as overnight protein oats ("proats").  You simply mix the ingredients together in a matter of minutes the night before, and they soak while you sleep.  In the morning, they're ready whenever you are! These oats can be enjoyed cold or warm.  I like to serve them chilled but topped with warm cherry compote and almond butter.
