This is arguably the easiest breakfast I’ve ever made. Prepare this oatmeal the night before, or whip up a bigger batch and you’ve got a healthy breakfast ready to go for the next couple of days.
A little bit of chia seeds go a long way. Paired with the oats, this recipe is a low-sugar, nutrient-dense powerhouse that will keep you going until your next meal. Add a few berries for added flavor and enjoy!
