Strawberry Lemonade Overnight Muesli

An easy make-ahead breakfast made with whole oats, yogurt, and fresh fruit.

Oh breakfast. Why are you such a pain in my rear end? I almost always wake up feeling ravenous, but finding something that is both quick and healthy in the morning is almost always a challenge.

That’s why I adore easy make-ahead breakfasts like overnight muesli. The following recipe is just one variation of the simple method used to make muesli – soaking oats in yogurt. Try substituting the yogurt for any flavor you like, or trading the strawberries for another fresh fruit. Plain yogurt may also be used. If needed, a dollop of honey will add just enough sweetness.
