Apple & Honey Overnight Oats

How is everyone doing on their new year’s resolutions? Going strong? Already struggling? Mine are a bit of a mixed bag, but one that I’m nailing so far this year are healthy breakfasts.

I’m happy with healthy options at breakfast, but if I don’t plan ahead, I’m more likely to just grab a slice of toast or a bowl of cereal. So, one of my goals for the year is to keep planning ahead. When I saw that this month’s #ImprovChallenge was Oats and Honey, I knew overnight oats would be on the menu.

These are ridiculously easy to prep – about 5 minutes and you’ll have breakfast for the week ready to go, which makes them an ideal make-ahead breakfast. A lot of people like to put the oats into smaller mason jars to make them portable – I prefer mine in a larger jar. We tend not to eat on the go, and this makes it easier to portion out – more for me, smaller servings for the kids.
