Your mornings just got real easy. You’re welcome.
Not only is this the easiest breakfast ever; you get to make it the night before and wake up with one less thing to worry about. You’ll start your morning off right, with energy to last you until lunch.
It’s really as simple as throwing together a few simple ingredients and letting them do their thang in the fridge.
Jen and I wanted to make these back to school mornings as easy as possible. Even if there’s nobody going back to school in your home, there’s no reason not to start your morning off right.
Your body will thank you. And so will your energy level.

Can this be made with steel cut oats? I have a big box of that and I don’t come across many recipes that call for it 🙁

I’ve never tried it, but I think it would work fine!

How many calories are in this?

For extra protein can we add a scoop of whey protein powder?
Life is but a Dish
Sure! I don’t see why not! I would probably mix it with the liquid before adding.

I do mine like that except I add some greek yogurt and some organic frozen mango for the fruit.

???sigo preguntando, por Dios que cantidad de diferencias tenemos los americanos y los europeos, solo en lo culinario porque en lo demás tenemos lo mismo, 2 piernas, 2 brazos etc, etc y políticos corruptos ???. Qué es avena antigua?. La que yo compro es avena en el Lidl (supermercado alemán, me encanta) hay que cocerla ú hornearla.
Hermosa niña, gracias por tu paciencia, tiempo y respuesta. ???

Have you tried this with oat milk? I just read about almond milk hurting honey bees so I’ve switched to oatmilk.
