Guess who finally got smart with her oats?
——–> this girl! <———
Since emptying the pantry every morning can sometimes be quite the ordeal, I decided I was going to put together some pre-measured baggies for my oatmeal. However, 1. I didn’t have mini snack baggies and 2. that seemed awfully wasteful.
So I dumped all the dry ingredients that usually go into my oats into a re-sealable plastic container!
I put in oatmeal, wheat germ, flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut.
Now all I have to do is put in the wet ingredients and whatever mix-ins I want for the day.
It’s throwing off my dry-to liquid ratio just a bit since normally I start with plain oats, but I’ll have it perfected in no time for sure 
I went with almond butter this morning instead of peanut butter. Gotta give love to the other nut butters too
Have a great day!!

You are a genius.
Love this idea of pre-mixing everything!!
Looks great!
I am definitely going to make your oats in your last post!
It’s all about streamlining the morning routine!
That is a VERY good idea……We should all do this!
Have a great day!
I am enjoying a really good bowl of oats right now
almond butter always compliments oats perfectly in my opinion
I like the idea of pre-mixing a container of dry ingredients for oatmeal- great idea!!
Isn’t Sea Biscuit the best? I could eat breakfast there every day
If it helps, I’m planning on posting my superbowl menu later today
Awesome idea!!
I LOVE almond butter in my oatmeal!
nice idea! I myself perefer almond butter to pb any day
What a great idea — I’ve totally never thought of that but am definitely stealing your idea. Helps save some time in the AM.
That’s a really good idea. Knowing me, I’d probably pre-measure out the milk and banana too
Have a good day!
Way to save time and a tree
Shoot anything that saves time is a winner in my book!!
Smart lady!! Oats look delish!
Great time saving idea. Every second counts in the morning, doesn’t it??
That is such a good idea!!!!!!!
Great idea with the oats! Oats seem so simple but when you start adding all those delicious extras, it gets time consuming!
Amazing idea girl!!!! And you gotta love some AB…
And totally loving the new layout!!!!!!!
(I just realized that I use a lot of exclamation points…)
Smart idea about to pre-prepare all of the mix ins: I might try your method just because I often forget to add certain ingredients into my oatmeal! (usually flax)
What a great idea! I throw in so many extra things in my oats too, would be smarter to just toss it all in a big tupperware!!
I am all about streamlining any morning routine I can – I also try to mix anything I can in a reusable container – saves money – no need to waste a bag!
That’s a fantastic idea! I keep mine all in a big jar (empty pickle jar..haha) but I love the idea of portioning it out.
