This kid-friendly oatmeal not only meets school nutrition guidelines, but it is also prepared and portioned ahead and kept refrigerated until the next day. The oatmeal “cooks” in the fridge. That labor-saving bonus allows kitchen staff to serve a healthy grab-and-go breakfast with ease.

3½ lb. (6 cups + 6 tbsp.) creamy peanut butter
2 oz. (1/4 cup) vanilla extract
18 oz. (1½ cups) honey
1 gal. lowfat milk
2¼ lb. rolled oats
25 cups frozen mixed unsweetened berries, thawed
