The name gives it away. It's easy and...yummy! I have a hard time enjoying oatmeal in all it's different forms. I didn't even like oatmeal cookies growing up--I know, I didn't like a cookie--shocker! Since I have changed my ways, I have tried really hard to enjoy the benefits of oatmeal. Refrigerator oatmeal is a really easy way to do that, plus it takes about 3 minutes to put it together and then it's ready in the morning!
Here's my example, but I got it from this link; http://www.theyummylife.com/blog/2012/03/293/Overnight,+No-Cook+Refrigerator+Oatmeal+--+A+healthy+breakfast+made+in+mason+jars+in+six+different+flavors!
Copy and paste into your search engine to see all of her glorious recipes.
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup greek yogurt (I used strawberry)
11/2 tsp dried chia seeds (found at Natural Foods)
1/4 tsp extract (I used almond)
1 tsp honey (I used a Splenda package)
1/4 cup fruit (I used strawberries)
Put all ingredients in the jar except the fruit, put the lid on and shake it. Add your fruit and gently stir it around so the fruit doesn't stay on top. Put the lid back on and store it in the fridge over night or up to 4 days. It might last longer but I ate it all before then. Also, it's ok to heat it a little, just enough to take the chill off.
