Yay! My finals are over. Even though it was not easy, the sense of satisfaction after such accomplishment is always worth it. Again and again, I am convinced that being out of my comfort zone is vitally important for а personal growth.

Well, it is time to get back to the food!

I am an absolute fan of easy breakfasts. Especially now, when it is a holiday season! There are so many fun things to do every day which I prefer over spending extra time in the kitchen. Sorry to all passionate cooks, I am not one of you. I am always trying to be creative and make something that takes no longer than 5-10 min to prepare in the morning.

When cold smoothie bowls are not as attractive as they were in July, oatmeal can be a great and nutritious option. I would agree, it might sound a bit boring if you think about traditional porridge. Fortunately, it is not the case, and there are so many fun and easy breakfast options with oats! I shared some ideas here, here, and here. One of my favorites is soaked overnight oats in orange juice. I love to serve it with some yogurt, toasted coconut, nut butter, or fresh fruit. With that many options, everyday breakfast can be different, but always delicious and wholesome.

Here is the recipe. I hope you will like it as much as we do in our family ;).
