Whatever your fitness goals — whether to lose weight or simply cut back on trips through the drive-through — meal prep is essential. Still, the standard make-ahead wisdom doesn't really apply to eggs or avocado toast, which can make breakfast a bit of a challenge. Enter overnight oats: rather than cooking your oats in the morning (who has time for that?), you simply leave them to soak in some milk overnight. Add your favorite flavors to the mix and, in the morning, you're left with the most delicious and nutritious breakfast you can just grab and go. Ready to simplify your morning?
