Overnight Oatmeal aka Greatness in a jar!

Strawberrry, blueberry banana with flax seed

So this originally sounded kind of gross to me...I mean cold oatmeal??  

But I gave it a shot for a quick on the go breakfast situation.  So glad I did, its delicious, healthy and easy to grab and head out on the days you might be running late.

What you need::

• 1/2C dry oatmeal- best to not use the instant kind
• 1/4 C yogurt- I've been using low fat vanilla 
• 1/3 C milk - I ususally go with vanilla soy or almond
• 1 Tbsp honey
• Dash of Cinnamon
• 1 and a half Tbsp ground flax seed or chia seeds**- Optional but great way to add in a bit more healthy stuff; definitely play around with your milk amounts when adding these, they can make things a little too dry
• Fruit! - any combo you like. I've had some great turnouts with blueberry and strawberry, banana is also great to add!

What you do::

• Put all ingredients, yes the fruit too, in a jar or tupperware(I use the mason jars for convenience-easy to eat out of while walking)
• Seal/Lid
• Shake or stir to mix it all up
• Pop it in the fridge overnight
• In the morning grab it and eat it or like me let it warm up a bit on the counter or if i'm in a hurry pop in the microwave for about 10  seconds just to knock out some of the chill.
• Enjoy!

Other really tasty mixes: Blueberry banana-topped with chopped walnuts in the morning; Peach blackberry; Cherry-add a bit of vanilla extract in with this one!
