Overnight Apple Cinnamon Oats

This week at the grocery store we made a big decision:

instead of buying organic low fat milk, we bought coconut milk.

No, we aren't going vegan, dairy-free, but reading these facts (and current research) may make you re-consider how much cow dairy products you are actually consuming. (Yes, it is from "Not Milk" making you think the info is biased, but the doctor who wrote the article has his MD from UCSF and teaches at John Hopkins School of Medicine and he is credible).

Back to coconut milk. So we bought coconut milk and found this delicious, yummy
