Breakfast is an important meal and so often we grab empty crabs or skip it. Overnight oats are not only healthy but also delicious, no-cook, easy to make and it takes the hassle out of the breakfast run -  so count me in!  You can eat it on the go or enjoy with your morning coffee and new book. I love making mine in a mason jar. I throw all the ingredients in, shake it up and pop the lid on to set overnight in the fridge. They stack really well in your fridge, are easy to take on the go and are reusable so a triple win! You can get 6 jars for R99 here from Takealot.

Overnight oats are so easy to make and can be stored in your fridge for a few days.
