The Breakfast Recipe That'll Save Your Morning (2024)

Not sure why it took me so long to hopon the overnight oats bandwagon, but now that I’ve discovered their brilliance, I’m fully hooked. For the uninitiated, making overnight oats requires little more than stirring together a few ingredients then letting them sit in the fridge overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, breakfast is served. No dicing, no blending, and most importantly, nocooking, which is deeply appreciated in the 100 degree July heat we’re experiencing in Austin right now.

For any of y’all that still think oatmeal is, well, oatmeal, you most definitelyhaven’t tasted my versions brimming with fruit, spices, zest, and nuts. For our latest collaboration withBlue Diamond Almonds(did you catch our smoothie bowl brunchand breakfast salad?)I’ve even pegged their flavors “tropical paradise” and “blueberry muffin,” and there isnothing boring about that. I think it’s so cool thatBlue Diamond is sponsoring the USA Swimming team, andwhether you’re an athlete, a busy mama, or climbing the career ladder (or all of the above) breakfasts like this one will fuel your own lane to greatness by providingenergy that’ll last all day.

Let’s be honest: mornings arecrazy, but it’s also really important to me that everyone in my family gets a healthybreakfast to fuel them through the activities of the day. Being able to wake up and have these waiting in the fridge is such a stress-reliever, and their nutritional qualities are off the charts. You’ll get a mega-dose of fiber (oats), protein (almonds and chia seeds), vitamins and antioxidants (blueberries, pomegranate seeds, mangos), and healthy fats (coconut.) Once school starts up again, I’m going to be packing a little mason jar of this in Phoebe’s lunchbox — and I’ll be taking mine on the go in my purse.
