Chilled Oatmeal
Summers are meant to be simple. And light. And easy. And fresh.
They’re meant to press snooze one too many times. To stay up too late. To make new friendships and foster old ones. They’re meant to lose yourself. And find yourself all over again.
They’re meant for messy houses and staying outside too long. They’re meant for last minute meals. And scoops of ice cream piled high.
They’re meant for no-fuss, chilled, never cooked oatmeal in the morning. With a splash of almond and a handful of fresh fruit. That’s what summers were meant for. For the full recipe, head over to Mint.
I’ve got to give this a try! Easier than heating up the kitchen
Awesome post! Looks delicious! I’ll definitely give it a shot some time!
Superb photography and wonderful words!
Oh. MAMA.
This is a wicked idea! Love this!
This post has pretty much single-handedly made me excited for summer!
your photos are A++ today. hearts.
I have to try this because it is getting really hot here and I don’t want to eat the hot oatmeal anymore!
What a great idea, look at those gorgeous blackberries!
Thanks for reminding me about chilled oatmeal, Melissa! I think I’ll add some oatmeal to my Greek yogurt tomorrow morning. xo!
Love, love, love how you’ve written this.
I’m very impressed with your photography!
One of my favorite breakfasts!
Such a good idea for breakfast!
I’ve made plenty of overnight oatmeal before, but never with steel cut oats! I just put a bowl into my fridge (along with some chia seeds) for my breakfast tomorrow. Thanks Melissa (and Kathryne)! Loving your contributions at Mint by the way
Oatmeal has never looked so good. You’ve totally convinced me to try this for breakfast. And it’s much healthier than the sweets I normally eat too, love this!
This is my absolute favorite: “They’re meant for messy houses and staying outside too long. They’re meant for last minute meals. And scoops of ice cream piled high.”
[...] simple food. Spending less time in the kitchen, and more time outside. At the beach. In the sun. As Melissa put so well, summer is a time ‘to lose yourself. And find yourself all over again.’ [...]
