Shortly before the first of the year I got my yearly physical. We get a free month of insurance from our company if we get one. So I get one every year.

I know y'all are going to find this to be a shocker, but they called me back and told me that my cholesterol was high. Who would have thought Irishguy would have high cholesterol... Right? The doctor wanted to put me on medication and I told him to give me 6 months to change a few things: Eating and drinking habits, exercise, etc... And lets see what I could do naturally to bring it down. Which brings us to overnight oats.

I made some for both of us last night.

For mine I used:

1/2 cup of regular old fashioned rolled oats (uncooked)
1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup of 2% Fairlife milk
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp chia seeds
pinch of salt

I put all that in a pint Mason jar, and stirred it up.

Then I added frozen berries on top, put on the lid, put it in the fridge and went to bed. In the morning I threw it in my backpack with my lunch and ate it cold at my desk this morning after stirring it up and it was damn good.

Since I've started my morning workouts back too, I'm going to start adding some Optimum Nutrition Hydro Whey to them for extra protein in the morning after my workouts.
