What you’re having for breakfast the next day probably isn’t on your mind as you’re finishing that low ball of whiskey in front of the 11pm news. But just like putting the coffee on the night before, add Oats Overnight to your evening routine and you’ll make your morning routine easier than ever.

Here’s how it works: Order an Oats Overnight 3-pack starter kit for $18—it comes with a Blender Bottle. Tear open a pre-measured packet and dump it in the bottle along with 8-ounces of milk. Shake briefly and then put in the refrigerator while you sleep. The next morning, just give the bottle a quick shake and enjoy a nutritious breakfast. It’s so easy (and good), you may want to make this a daily habit.

There are currently three varieties to choose from: Green Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana, and Strawberries & Cream. When you buy the three-pack, you can choose one of each flavor or three of the same flavor. There’s also a 12-pack for $45 and a 24-pack for $85, and it’s a bonus that you don’t have to wheel a cart through the grocery store. Buy online and they ship straight to your door.

While the flavors are different, each variety has the same four ingredients—chia seeds (Ancient Mayan warriors ate these for strength!), oatmeal (adds vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavor, and texture), flax seeds (full of omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, antioxidants), and protein enriched with maca root (an ancient superfood known for its nutrients and used for medicinal purposes).

Oats Overnight, when prepared with low-fat milk, has the same protein punch as a breakfast of five large eggs. Each flavor offers between 32 and 34 grams of protein per serving.

Take a break from soggy cereal or those dry ass breakfast bars and give Oats Overnight a shot.

Rum vs. whiskey: Understanding the key differences in your favorite spirits

What's the difference between rum and whiskey

Whiskey

The hard liquor world is extremely immersive, and to the novice, it can seem fairly overwhelming. It’s okay, I completely get it. I’ve been writing about alcohol for almost twenty years, and I didn’t learn the intricacies of each major spirit type overnight. It took years of tastings, traveling, and research (aka drinking).

Even if you avoid lesser-known spirits, there are still a whole slew of different whiskey types to learn about (bourbon, rye, single malt Scotch, American single malt, Canadian whisky, Irish whiskey, and beyond), and then there’s gin, vodka, tequila, mezcal, and rum. It’s enough to make you want to climb under your covers and not come out until spring or until you magically learn all the basics of every spirit. At least enough to have a basic conversation at a get together with friends.

Part of what makes the world of coffee so fascinating is that there's always something new to learn. If you think you've heard of every type of coffee imaginable, perhaps you'll need to rethink that statement. The black tie coffee offers something unique that other coffee beverages simply do not: the perfect balance between tea and coffee. If you're a tea and coffee lover like me, this drink could become your new favorite. Here's what you need to know about the "black tie coffee" and how to make it.
How to make black tie coffee

Ordering a black tie coffee at your local cafe isn't relatively as easy as ordering an iced latte. While you might find this specialty beverage more easily abroad, it's hard to come by on coffee shop menus throughout the U.S. Luckily; this drink is simple enough to prepare enough on your own at home, even for beginner Baristas. Here's how to make a black tie coffee.

Arabica coffee shortages may make your morning breakfast pricier in 2025

Eggs aren't the only breakfast item with rising prices

Recent news stories have highlighted the rising cost of eggs due to the bird flu, but another critical problem is emerging. Last week, Arabica coffee prices closed at a record of $4.04 per pound and are expected to rise higher this week. This rise is up 26% since the fourth quarter of 2024, when prices remained around $3.20 per pound. Recent reports of a dry, hot weather system forming over Brazil's coffee areas are contributing to new price peaks, as farmers in the world's top coffee-growing regions are reluctant to sell. Brazil produces over half of the world's Arabica coffee beans, posing a serious problem for coffee drinkers around the world.

Experts such as Bank of America's analysts have warned consumers about the growing shortage of Arabica coffee beans, preparing them to brace for retail coffee prices to rise. Analysts note that the outlook for coffee crops in Brazil is quite uncertain, especially given the potential for unfavorable weather conditions in upcoming months. Dry El Nino weather and low rainfall in Brazil have damaged coffee trees during an essential stage of coffee growing. Weather reports also indicate Brazil has faced the driest weather conditions since 1981, worsening the Arabica coffee outlook.
