Over Night, No Cook Refrigerator Oatmeal

Well I finally got the time to post this amazing breakfast combo that I have been obsessing over now for about 2 months! I literally make them almost every week. If you are a working mom like me and need something quick, easy and healthy on the days of work this is the go-to meal!

This easy, no-cook "summer porridge" has make-ahead convenience and is packed with nutrition to get your day off to a healthy start. Make it in individual mason jars for a perfect serving size and an easy grab-and-go breakfast straight from the fridge (it's eaten cold). Take it along to work or anywhere. Great to serve on a breakfast or brunch buffet. High in protein and fiber!
