A Complete Breakfast to Pack Ahead: Oatmeal and Smoothie Combo

Preparing ahead is the best way to ensure healthy and well balanced meals that are available when you need them. We often think about preparing lunches and dinners ahead of time but forget to do the same with breakfast.

On their own, the oatmeal and smoothie are both well balanced — put them together, and you have a morning meal that’s both well balanced and delicious. Make sure you have adequate storage containers for these delicious breakfast items! My favorite to use are glass mason jars.
