Part of my Sunday mornings are spent meal prepping for the week. It makes me feel organized and ready to take on the week’s challenges. Plus, there’s something therapeutic about cranking up the music, cooking, and belting the lyrics to my favorite tunes. I’m sure my neighbors don’t find this as relaxing as I do!
Like everyone else, my weekday mornings are hectic and start early. Unless I plan on skipping breakfast, meal prepping is a must. I typically switch off between egg muffins and overnight oats throughout the week, but there’s still a need for variety. This dish tastes like dessert and are a fun way to elevate traditional overnight oats. After trying these, you’ll want to ditch the bland oats and sugary oatmeal packets.
