Prep breakfast the night before for a stress-free morning. Spiced apple- and walnut-infused oatmeal allows you to enjoy fall flavors anytime of the year! Protein-rich skim milk and nonfat plain Greek yogurt paired with fiber-rich oats make for a satisfying breakfast combo. Need a lighter breakfast? Omit the one tablespoon of nut butter to trim about 100 calories, or share with a loved one.
