Easy Overnight Oats with Instant Breakfast Powder

Ah, mornings.  I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a morning person.  My grandfather was a morning person, and my father is a morning person, but not me.

Not in the slightest.

Because of that fact, breakfast has always been something of an afterthought.  I’m barely awake when I eat it, so why bother with anything creative?  However, the same old, same old for breakfast every day does get a bit dull.  How do you make breakfast interesting while still keeping it simple?  My breakfast solution is Carnation Breakfast Essentials®.  Using Carnation Breakfast Essentials® in this recipe makes breakfast incredibly easy and delicious!

Many times, we’re in such a hurry in the morning that it’s hard to come up with a breakfast plan that works for the whole family.  This easy overnight oats recipe with Carnation Breakfast Essentials® solves that problem by making it a snap to put breakfast on the table for the whole family.  It easily scales up or down, depending on how many people you need to feed, and it has only three ingredients!  Plus, the extra time you save by using Carnation Breakfast Essentials® will let you slow down and enjoy the first meal of the day rather than rush through it.

You can get more ideas to make your family breakfast fast and tasty by joining the Carnation 7-Day Breakfast Challenge.  In addition to eating a nutritious breakfast each day for seven days straight, you can also complete simple breakfast missions though the end of February for a chance to win prizes!
