Overnight Oatmeal

This is a very interesting oatmeal recipe. I never thought about eating oatmeal without cooking it, so I just had to try it. I found this recipe extremely easy. It's literally mix, (refrigerate overnight) and go. The bonus it's delicious!

There are so many reasons to like this recipe:

• It's easy to make
• It's ready to run out the door with you (just pack in a resealable container) 
• It's a cold oatmeal option for summer 
• It's 100% whole grain
• It's a balanced meal - providing three of the four food groups (Vegetables and Fruit, Grain Products and Milk and Alternatives)
• It allows you be get creative by mixing and matching yogurt flavours and different fruit, and
• It tastes great!

Overnight Oatmeal

• 1/4 cup of oatmeal
• 100 g (one small individual size container) plain or any flavour Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup of fruit

Mix everything together into a bowl or resealable container the night before. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours and enjoy for breakfast the next morning.

I used vanilla yogurt and frozen peaches - I can't wait for peach season this year! I also tried this recipe with cheery yogurt and blueberries. Both delicious!
