Easy Make Ahead Breakfast
It’s lovely to wake up in the morning, when you know that there is a layered berry overnight oats breakfast waiting for you.
Mason jar meals always make me happy, so somethings the thought of this deliciousness is all I need to coax me out of bed.
Overnight oats are hearty and filled with energizing nutrition, so they can fuel your morning.
Then, you won’t need to worry about your tummy rumbling before lunchtime.
I like adding nuts to this recipe, but you can substitute granola for the nuts.
The granola is a good alternative, when you have a nut allergy.
Frozen store bought mixed berries were used, when the photos were taken for the recipe.
However, I often have berries in my freezer that I have frozen myself.
The store bought ones usually have a syrup added, but either berry option is good.
Overnight oats only take a few minutes of prep time in the evening, so there isn’t much effort required.
Oats are nutrient dense, so you’ll get a good amount of protein and fiber in a single serving.
A small time investment will make your morning delicious and nutritious!
