No-Cook, No-Fuss, No-Mess Healthy Breakfast Recipe: Oatmeal On The Run

From the archive. This post was first published on the original Green Eggs and Moms blog and is kept here as it was.

No Cook Healthy Breakfast

Clockwise: almonds, organic shredded coconut, low-fat milk, raisins, cacao nibs and of course, rolled oats.

What if breakfast was just a few seconds away?

Without having to chop or use the stove?

Without creating any mess?

All that’s required is mixing all ingredients together and waiting as much – or as little – as 10 minutes. And what’s the best part?

It’s HEALTHY!

Are you yanking my chain?

Nope I’m not. This recipe is insanely EASY which is makes it perfect for you!

Why?

Because mornings are often stressful and rushed. Yes, there are ways to make morning routines easier for everyone, but nothing can beat whipping up breakfast in a flash.

Literally.

Okay, okay, tell me about it already!

Oatmeal on the run is a recipe from Chris Johnson’s On Target Living.

Takes less than 30 seconds to make — and kids will love making their own bowls.

Ingredients: 

  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of raisins
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (I used low-fat milk)

Procedure:

Mix everything together in a bowl or plastic food container. Place in the fridge overnight or let it sit for 10 minutes before eating. That’s it!!!

Other toppings:

  • shredded coconut
  • slithered almonds
  • cacao nibs
  • dried cherries
  • other fresh fruits
  • whatever you like with oatmeal

Should I try this healthy breakfast recipe for my family?

Most definitely. All you need is to grab the ingredients from the grocery store and you’re all set.

Put ingredients, seal container, pop in the refrigerator. Easy peasy!

Note: A big thank you to the folks at On Target Living for sending me this healthy breakfast. Disclaimer Policy
