I am in LOVE with this Overnight No Cook Refrigerator Oatmeal. If you are looking for a healthy breakfast recipe for on the go and you don't have time to cook breakfast each morning then you are going to love this recipe! Best of all you can use any fruit or ingredients that you love! I love that you can mix and match and make your own flavor combination.
This is often referred to as "summer porridge" because often times people don't like a hot breakfast in the mornings when it is hot outside. Personally I am always on the go and I don't have time to sit down and make breakfast each morning so using this quick and easy make ahead breakfast really works for me! Best of all it is delicious and good for me!
I hope you enjoy mixing and matching and creating your own flavor combinations as much as I do. I love to make a batch of these on Sunday for the rest of the week and enjoy one each morning. I suggest a wide mouth canning jar because it is easier to use and eat from. My husband even loves this recipe!
