Time in the morning is precious. The last thing you want to do before a 14-hour shift is clean dishes after making breakfast! Taking 5 minutes the night before to prep is a game changer! Take your overnight oats out the fridge and enjoy immediately or pop them in your insulated compartment in your backpack.
