    Breakfast that's ready before you are. 🎃 Pumpkin Breakfast that's ready before you are. 🎃

Pumpkin pie overnight oats take 5 minutes to make the night before. In a jar, stir together:

1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup milk 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 1 tsp maple syrup 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Cover, refrigerate overnight, and top with chopped pecans in the morning.

Why it works: oats give you carbs for energy, milk and Greek yogurt add protein, and pumpkin brings fiber and vitamin A. Perfect for early practices or a busy school morning.

Save this one for your next meal prep night 📌

A plan beats cramming every time. Start with the CSSD Content Outline from CDR, rank your weakest topics first, and test yourself as you go.

Step 6 is the one most people skip: take full-length mock exams before test day so nothing about the real exam surprises you.

Want the plan built for you? The CSSD Exam Prep Course maps 15 topics to the exam blueprint. Check it out ay amygoodsonrdcourses.com/CSSD.
