Make Grab-and-Go Oatmeal in Your FridgeIf you rarely have time to make breakfast in the morning, try this method of making oatmeal in your fridge. There's no cooking or heating up required, and you can quickly make a couple of batches on the weekend for several days' worth of meals.

The Yummy Life posts this very healthy recipe for overnight, no-cook refrigerator oatmeal (a.k.a. "summer porridge"). In pint-size mason jars, mix old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant, quick, or steel-cut) with milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds (which has great nutritional value, including Omega-3). Add fruit or other flavorings, shake, and you're done. Overnight in the fridge, the chia seeds and oats soften and absorb the liquids.

Grab one in the morning and enjoy it cold.

This is even easier to make than the oatmeal-in-jars method we've seen previously.

The refrigerator oatmeal is very versatile too. Flavor varieties offered in the article below include mango almond, blueberry maple, banana peanut butter, and many more. Yummy!
