With Valentines day just under a week away this weekend is a perfect time to whip up some treats for that special someone. It doesn’t have to be your partner it could be a co-worker, a bestie, your kids, a family member, anyone! These overnight oats are the perfect morning treat & the chia raspberry jam lasts about a week which is amazing spread on toast or added to yogurt!
This Valentines day is dedicated to our little sweet pea in my tummy!
Give it a try & take some cute pics using #leavesandbubbly so I can drool over them!
Happy Valentines Babes & remember to make someone feel special everyday ❤ Xx.
