Overnight oats. The standard simple make ahead breakfast. They’ve never failed me on those busy mornings.
I usually prep all my breakfast/snacks/meals for work the night before. Usually that means having smoothies ready to blend (aside from the frozen fruit) in the fridge, meals packed (leftovers from dinner), snacks in containers, and overnight oats made ahead of time for the week.
I like to not work in the morning, and the little extra effort the night before pays off.
These overnight oats are just my standard go to recipe. It’s flavourful, filling, and you can customize it as much as you want. I love that the bananas add all of the sweetness without having to add additional honey or maple syrup!
I have the recipe for a double batch provided, but you can increase it to make more for the week if you want!
I love adding in some healthy fats and added protein with almond butter and hemp hearts. It also just makes it taste so much better.
