This may not seem very exciting, but these breakfast jars are a part of my day I always look forward to. (For someone who never really liked breakfast, that is saying a lot!)
We put these jars together on the weekend when we meal prep. There is one for every day of the week and it’s the EASIEST way I have found to get a healthy, well-balanced breakfast – every day, without thinking, in less than 3 minutes.
I simply shake the jar. Dump it into a bowl. Cover it with water. Microwave for 1-1/2 minutes. (You can also cover with boiling water and let sit for 4-5 minutes. Same result.)
From there, I stir in some soy milk (could be any choice of nut milks that you prefer), top with frozen blueberries and voila!
It’s packed with healthy fats and carbs, plus lots of protein!
Each jar contains:
- 1/4 cup of steel cut oats
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 5-6 raw almonds
- 3-4 raw walnuts
- 1 tbsp goji berries
This gives me lots of slow-burning energy, sets my metabolism up for the day and it’s tasty and satisfying! I look forward to my morning bowl of oatmeal every day. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
