Overnight Fridge Berry Oatmeal

I'm not really a morning person.  The idea of breakfast already made and waiting for us sounds good to me.  One of my favorite things for breakfast is oatmeal.  I've tried making oatmeal before in the slow cooker (oatmeal experiment #1) and found that it doesn't work well with old-fashioned oats which is what I usually have on hand.  Here goes oatmeal experiment #2.  This time I'm putting old-fashioned oats in the fridge overnight.  Will we all like cold oatmeal in the morning?

Ingredients (printable recipe)

3 cups Old Fashioned Oats

2 cups Vanilla Yogurt (you could try any flavor)

1-2 cups *frozen mixed berries (I used frozen blueberries)

1/2 cup fruit juice (use any juice you like--apple juice is more subtle)

Directions

Mix all ingredients in medium sized tupperware container with lid or glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Keep in the fridge overnight. Top oatmeal with a drizzle of honey, cinnamon, granola, roasted nuts, coconut, whatever you like. Serve cold.

*Using frozen berries is important because as they melt overnight, they create a wonderful juice that you just can’t get with fresh berries.

The Results...
This was definitely something different for breakfast.  Overnight the berries thawed and the oatmeal softened.  We topped this with a drizzle of honey and granola.  It needed the granola on top for some crunch and extra flavor.  I heard from everyone here that this is a 3 star recipe.  It was good, but not outstanding.
