In a perfect world, you would have time in the morning to sit down to a leisurely breakfast before going off to start your day. But let’s get real — more often than not the dog is whining to go out, you’re trying to make sure everyone gets out the door on time, and less-than-savory Pop-Tarts are flying through the air.
But whether you have the time to sit and enjoy breakfast for a couple minutes at the table or you’re running out the door, you can still start out your day with a healthy meal to keep you going until lunch — including things you can bring to the office or eat on the run.
All it takes is a little bit of planning to help make those mornings a bit easier — and a whole lot more delicious and nutritious.
Overnight Oats
This is pretty much the simplest thing ever and there are a million variations on the recipe, but you basically just combine oats and milk (or non-dairy beverage) and/or yogurt together in a bowl, put it in the fridge overnight and then top it with whatever you want in the morning — fruit, nuts and nut butters, chia seeds, etc.
It’s really that simple.
