Add half cup rolled oats to a small glass bowl with a lid OR a mason jar
Add 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk substitute), and 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or other sweetener), and stir with a spoon to combine
Optional: Add 1-2 tablespoons nut butter (such as peanut butter), 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Cover and place in fridge until the next day (soak at least 5 hours). Its ok to play with the oats & milk ratio to get your preferred texture after the 1st try
Optional: Add a few berries of your choice (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
Next day: Enjoy while getting ready or take to work :)
2. Egg Muffins
Preheat oven to 350° F (180°C) and grease a standard non-stick 12-slot muffin tin with cooking spray
Chop veggies of choice: examples include tomato, bell peppers, onions, scallion,
spinach, mushroom
Sautee in a pan for 2-5 minutes
Add chopped veggies to each greased muffin slot
Wisk about 4-5 eggs (should equal 1 ½ cups cracked), add salt & pepper, and pour into each muffin slot filling half way
Optional: sprinkle cheese on top

Next day: Enjoy while getting ready or take to work :)
