Overnight Oats

This is one of my easy, go-to breakfast options that gives me sustained energy throughout my morning. Sometimes I even portion it out into jars, so I can easily grab one in the morning.

 

DifficultyBeginner

Feel free to experiment with different fruits, flavors, etc. All you need to remember to do is soak the oats the night before!
