Refrigerator Oatmeal - Yogurt Oatmeal

It's not always easy to find the time to eat something healthy in the mornings, especially if you are running off to work or have small children to take care of.  This Refrigerator Oatmeal is a life saver!  Just make a few of these up the night before (or several if you want to make enough for 2-3 days).  You can pretty much make any variation you want!  It's versatile, easy, healthy and delicious.  You just can't go wrong!  These recipes fit perfectly in a half pint canning jar, however you can of course use a larger size if that's what you have.

Start with these base ingredients, then you can add some great extras and make a variety of flavors.  I will post more varieties as I try them!
