Overnight Oats
Simple and easy on-the-go breakfast which is wholesome and filling. Make up a few at a time to have on hand during the week, so you don't have to think about what you are making for breakfast in the morning. If I don't want to eat it cold I nuke it for 90 seconds and it is like eating a fruit crumble
