Day 29: Overnight Oats
We all know how busy life becomes when the school year begins. Multiply that for each child you have, and compound it with sports and other extra-curricular activities. Time is of the essence!
Starting your day off with a healthy breakfast fuels your mind and gives proper nutrients to your body to sustain energy levels. Why not try overnight oats? Throw them together in the evening--in a jar, Tupperware, a mug, put them into the refrigerator and let the ingredients seep into delicious goodness overnight. The perfect no-hassle, healthy breakfast. High in fiber, protein and calcium and low in fat and sugar, too.
The blog, Kath Eats Real Food, has a long list of combinations for delicious overnight oats. For starters, here's her basic recipe.
