My all-time favorite breakfast is Strawberry Kiwi Overnight Oats. They are so easy to make, and you can customize to everyone’s particular needs/desires. For example, if you, your teenager, or your husband are going to workout hard, you may want to toss in a scoop of protein powder. I love particular fruit combos, and my Strawberry Kiwi Overnight Oats is a family hit.
Overnight oats is a whole meal, which contains all the nutrients you need to set up up for the day. It’s a great alternative to a smoothie, because on some days you just want something to chew, right? I love this recipe, because it’s all in the title: overnight oats prep themselves while you sleep (talk about multi-tasking), and they’re ready for you when you wake up. Make your overnight oats in a mason jar for an on-the-go breakfast that can’t be beat!
