Breakfast: It’s the most important meal of the day, but can be difficult to get to if you don’t wake up early enough. That’s where overnight oats come in to play. This grab and go breakfast is made the night before so all you have to do in the morning is reach in the fridge and grab a spoon, and maybe a few toppings, and you have a quick, healthy, and inexpensive breakfast.
