I am definitely one prone to that mid-week meal prep dread. Which is why NOT prepping breakfast is sometimes on the menu for me. That way, in the middle of the week I can make a big batch of overnight oats, and then vary up the toppings. This one was just maple vanilla with some dairy-free yogurt and a little bit of vanilla. With various frozen berries I had left over in the freezer. You could easily switch it up and add a different fruit or add cacao in the oat mixture for chocolate oats. Super filling, not boring, and full of fiber. Triple win.
