HEALTHY CARAMEL MACCHIATO OVERNIGHT DESSERT OATS
Healthy Caramel Macchiato Overnight Dessert Oats — get your coffee and breakfast in one fell swoop with this sweet and satisfying, rich and filling, deliciously caffeinated breakfast! ☕
Ask anyone I know whether I like coffee, and they’ll probably laugh out loud and tell you I don’t “like” coffee, I “LOVE” it.
But, to tell you the truth, I was never a coffee drinker until I went to college in 2010.
After just one month into my very first semester freshman year, I was incredibly stressed and starting to have some serious trouble sleeping. I could fall asleep just fine, but my cortisol levels were whack so I’d wake up at 3am every morning feeling wide awake and ready to start the day. I was never able to fall back asleep, and my schedule made it almost impossible to take naps.
I was exhausted from the heavy workload, tired from the lack of sleep, and completely unmotivated. I didn’t even want to go to college in the first place, I was across the country from my family, and living in a state I had never even step foot in prior, with THE worst roommate… probably ever…
