Sometimes, breakfast gets a bad reputation.
We`ve all been told it`s the most important meal of the day, but when most of us are rushing around trying to get ready it can be hard to prioritize a balanced breakfast. We`re a big fan of overnight oats at the Pipe Line. They`re easy to prepare the night before and therefore, all you have to do is grab them from the fridge in the morning. There`s no need to cook them at all because the oats absorb the liquid you put in them (though you can microwave them for a bit in the morning just to take the chill out if you prefer)! Since July is National Blueberry Month, we thought we`d share our recipe for blueberry protein oats so you can get your day started easily. All it takes is a few minutes the night before!
