Refrigerated overnight oatmeal is a great idea for a quick and nutritious breakfast that is ready when you get up. It’s also easy to take with you if you need to eat on the run. I wasn’t sure about eating oatmeal cold at first, but since trying it I make it regularly. Having breakfast ready when you get up is one less thing you have to worry about when things are busy in the morning. Enjoy!
