Are you tired over the overnight oat recipes? I really hope not. Because I can guarantee as the weather turns colder, you will be seeing more of these -- possibly with a pumpkin or cinnamon spice flavor. Hint, hint.
I recently switched jobs and I now work at a community college as an instructor.So, I haven't been able to say this in years, but, now I can; It's time to go back to school! With going back to school means that I have to get up earlier to fit my workout in before class. And with getting up earlier means tiredness, crankiness, and possibly a bit of laziness. Laziness only in regards to cooking myself a breakfast.
Enter overnight oats. You wonderful, wonderful creation. I make up 5 of these on Sunday afternoon and put them in my fridge for the week. Every morning, breakfast is ready to go so I can just zap it in the microwave and eat it as I get ready in the morning.
If you are not a breakfast eater, try overnight oats out. Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day and you do need something that is going to fuel your morning.
Let me know what you think!
