1. To a mason jar or small bowl, add almond milk, chia seeds, carob syrup, and honey (or another sweetener) and stir with a spoon to combine. 
2. Add oats and stir a few more times. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats have been moistened and are immersed in almond milk.
3. Cover securely with a lid or plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
4. The next day, open and enjoy as is or garnish with desired toppings (see options above).
5. Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours.

*Adding carob to your diet can provide you with many health benefits. Since carob is naturally high in fiber and has no caffeine, it’s ideal for people with high blood pressure. The low sugar and fat content also makes it a great dietary addition or chocolate substitution for people looking to lose weight. The high levels of vitamins, such as vitamins A and B-2, are good for your skin and eye health.

Enjoy!!
