Sunny Overnight Oats with Golden Kiwi Chia Jam
these Sunny Overnight Oats are a tropical escape in a jar—cool, creamy oats paired with juicy pineapple, protein-packed cottage cheese or yogurt, and a tangy-sweet golden kiwi jam that’s bursting with sunshine. A hint of turmeric adds a warm undertone and enhances the color (and anti-inflammatory benefits!).

Notes
Storage Note: If using canned pineapple, oats last 4-5 days in the fridge. For fresh pineapple, add it the night before or just before serving to avoid bitterness from the bromelain enzyme that will break down the oats.
