I always go to bed with the best intentions to wake up early, enjoy the morning, and fuel my body with a satisfying breakfast, but things don’t always work out that way — did I mention I’m not much of a morning person? Luckily, I’ve found a recipe that requires about 30 seconds of preparation the night before and ensures that I get to fulfill at least one of these morning goals every day. Meet the easiest breakfast of all time: overnight oats. It does not get any better than mixing a few ingredients together before bed and grabbing a spoon when you’re ready to eat a delicious breakfast.
High in protein and fiber, this whole-grain recipe will keep hunger at bay all morning long. Even better, this recipe supports healthy digestion and can even help you beat belly bloat. I’ve toyed around with a number of iterations of the basic recipe with slight changes, but this combination of ingredients including chia seeds and slivered almonds has become my go-to mix. Try it out for yourself tonight.
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maybe you’ll see something on my list that you also enjoyed in your younger days!

Anyone who lives in Austin or has visited will quickly agree that it is the best city in the entire world. Period. There are so many great things to do, see, and EAT in this fabulous city that truly getting the opportunity to live here is both a blessing a curse. I’ve compiled a list of eleven reasons why living in Austin ruins you for life but in the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson: “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
11 Reasons Living in Austin Ruins you for Life
1. Because few places are better to spend a lovely afternoon than atop Mount Bonnell.
2. And you don’t have to travel too far to experience the breathtaking beauty that is Hamilton Pool.
3. Because its food trailers are in a league of their own.
4. Because the music festivals it hosts are top-notch.
5. Because the Tex-Mex food is nothing short of spectacular.
6. And the BBQ is world-class.
7. It’s a place where sunset means being able to witness one of nature’s greatest phenomena.
8. Because Zilker Park is THE place to be.
9. Because it’s a city that stays true to its roots, and its rich history.
10. Because it’s a city where creativity can literally be found anywhere.
11. And most important of all, once you live there, you’ll realize heaven isn’t too far away.
