Overnight Oatmeal (With or Without Kefir)
Overnight oatmeal, or refrigerator oatmeal, is a delicious way to ensure a healthy kickstart to the metabolism without the fuss of boiling or mircrowaving. The texture is also much more palatable than cooked oatmeal and the creamy taste makes it feel like dessert for breakfast.

Notes
- Our favorites mix-ins include: all natural peanut butter, chocolate chips, homemade jam, cinnamon, berries, nuts, rains, or extracts such as vanilla, salter caramel, maple, and butter. The options are endless!
- I recommend using a glass container with a lid to ensure the flavor isn’t compromised as it sits in the fridge.
- If using the kefir version, avoid metal as it can kill the healthy probiotics.
