Single Serving Overnight Oatmeal

School starts for me next week and I am thinking of ways to be more efficient regarding breakfast and lunches. I am normally running out of the house and forgetting about breakfast until lunch time and by then I'm starving. I tried the recipe last year and I loved it - it was quick and I would fix it at night and forget about it until the morning. I would take it with me and when my students were eating their breakfast (they eat in the classroom) I would bring out my overnight oatmeal. Breakfast in a jar and all healthy. You should give it a try.

Single serving overnight oatmeal

Did you know that 1/2 cup of oatmeal provides 3 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber (Source:www.livingstrong.com)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup yogurt (your choice - I use coconut milk)

2/3 cup milk (your choice- I use coconut milk - I was out the day I took this picture)

1 tsp honey

1/4 tsp cinnamon (health properties)

Handful of craisins (dried fruit of your choice)

Optional: chopped nuts

Put all in a wide mouth pint size jar and stir. Place in the refrigerator overnight. 

         Eat the next day. I find that I like it cold. Even on a cold day.
