A perfect way to grab great nutrition any morning of the year
Ah, steel cut oats. So much fiber, so much nutritional value, so many centuries gone by waiting for them to cook...
Next time, let your fridge do the work for you while you're dreaming sweet dreams of your next personal record. Combine a handful of ingredients, stir, and get ready for a great breakfast or take along snack packed with nutrition.

Ingredients for 4 servings:
4 pint jars, smallish pyrex/tupperware/ziploc containers, gelato containers, or whatever you have lying around, plus their lids
4 cups coconut or almond milk
4 scoops protein powder
1 cup steel cut oats, uncooked
1 cup fixings such as pomegranate seeds, goji berries, slivered almonds, etc. Be creative as the sky is the limit and you can tack on even more nutrition. I use powdered peanut butter in mine.
