Overnight Oatmeal In A Jar

These overnight oats are the PERFECT, quick, convenient “grab-&-go” solution for those CRAZY mornings!. They are so easy to make (bonus), and so SIMPLE to switch up the ingredients, so there is never a problem of breakfast boredom! My kids LOVE to make their own  jars – mixing & matching ingredients, and coming up with creative culinary creations! I simply give each of them five 250ml jars with lids, spread ingredients on the counter and let them choose their fillings. After they are done, we label them with their names,place in the fridge and volia, breakfast is taken care of for the week!
