Breakfast gives us energy to start our day and if you skip it you may end up eating more during the day. Studies have shown that those who eat breakfast have improved concentration and performance in the classroom or the office. Those who skip breakfast are usually running late or don’t have time to eat. A simple solution is to prepare the breakfast the night before and to make it healthy. Overnight oats in a jar is a super easy way to handle the stresses of what to make in a short time.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ to ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, add all ingredients and stir to combine or place in a jar, cover with a lid and give it a few shakes. Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight. Remove from fridge and eat plain or top with granola or more fruit. OR, heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds for those cold mornings.
Notes
The Culinary Chase’s Note: The recipe uses 1:1 ratio (equal amounts of oats to liquid). Use almond milk, juice or whatever liquid suits your fancy. Change the fruit to mashed bananas, peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, raspberry preserves, dried or frozen fruit. If using steel cut oats, add more liquid. Enjoy!
