We’re a month into the semester, and classes, homework, jobs and extracurriculars are in full swing — for many students, myself included, that can seriously add up to zero free time.

Last night, as I was becoming desperate to find a way to do what I love AND eat, I happened upon a lifesaving gem of a breakfast called “overnight oats.”

Long story short, as an oatmeal-lover, I tested it out for myself and this is what I got (spoiler alert — it worked).

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • About 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup  fruit
  • Any other flavoring you want (maple syrup, brown sugar, etc.)
  • Optional granola for crunch
  • Spoon
  • Any container with a lid

Tips:

  • Add less milk for a thicker texture; more for a thinner texture
  • Frozen fruit keeps longer

Directions

  1. Mix all the ingredients into your container and cap the lid
  2. Pop it in the fridge before you go to bed
  3. Wake up in the morning with a dreadful feeling of almost being late and still having to cook breakfast
  4. Remember your breakfast is already waiting for you in the fridge, breathe a sigh of relief, and enjoy
