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.

Can drinking coffee extend your life? New study suggests it may
Is coffee the key to a longer life?

The fine line between enjoying the right amount of coffee and drinking too much coffee continues to be a challenging concept to master for many coffee drinkers. To add to the dilemma, a new meta-analysis study dove into the research of nearly 85 studies to examine coffee's relationship to portability rates and health indicators. This new study, headed by a team from the University of Coimbra in Portugal, suggests that drinking about three cups of coffee per day could extend lifespan by about 1.84 years per person.

The findings of this study showcase the potential for drinking coffee to protect against chronic diseases, such as Type 2 Diabetes, as well as age-associated diseases, such as stroke, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Researchers suggest that the benefits of coffee come from bioactive compounds within the drink known as polyphenols. Polyphenols may offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, fighting against the disease. However, the key to taking advantage of these benefits from coffee is "moderate consumption," which generally means around three to five cups of coffee per day for most adults.

Negroni trio at Orafo

A simple infusion can change everything. Sure, there's flavored alcohol like raspberry vodka and the like but it's far more fun—and interesting—to make your own. And no, we're not talking about notoriously bad ideas like nacho cheese flavored spirits. Instead, think mushroom-injected vodka, coffee-infused vermouth, and pepper-treated tequila.

These infusions can make a regular spirit all the more dynamic, improving classic cocktails like the Negroni and paving the way for brand new ones too. Perhaps best, they're relatively easy to make and don't take nearly as much time as you might think.
