The best types of breakfasts require zero effort in the morning – that must be why the line at the bagel shop is always so long!
Sometimes you want the ease of a pre-made breakfast, but without all the empty (but delicious) carbs of a grab and go pastry. That’s why our go-to healthy breakfast is Overnight Oats.
Overnight Oats are insanely easy, and perfect for a healthy start to the day. Make a batch on Sunday night and enjoy all week! With some great food storage containers, you can throw one in your bag to eat at the office or after your morning workout.
