Another idea is to prep your breakfast the night before. Some breakfasts don’t do well being reheated, but oatmeal is a food that actually tastes better after being re-warmed. You can also create a version that tastes great cold. Throw together a few healthy ingredients the night before and save yourself from any preparation in the morning. Combine ¾ cup non-fat milk, ½ cup of old fashioned oats, ⅓ cup of fruit, 1 tsp brown sugar, ¼ tsp lemon zest, ⅛ tsp vanilla extract, 3 drops of pure almond extract and a pinch of salt in a mason jar or any container with a lid. Secure the lid tightly and shake to mix. Keep this in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. Check out some incredible variations on A Beautiful Mess. You will be delighted with this healthy breakfast. The oats absorb the sugar from the fruit overnight and it comes out perfect everytime.
