Fastest Breakfast 

​I’ve always struggled to eat breakfast mainly because I don’t have time in the mornings getting everyone ready and out the door on time to get to work or school. At the moment I am trying to become more health conscious, so breakfast was my first fix that I needed to make. 

I have looked all over the internet and discovered making oats for breakfast the night before in a mason jar, no cooking needed!
There are endless variations of ingredients, my favourite is chocolate nibs and shredded coconut.

Basically add 1/4 or 1/2 cup oats, depending on how much you want to eat in a serving, add your preferred extras e.g. sultanas, walnuts, chia seeds, dates, prunes, shredded coconut, any fruit (can be fresh or frozen), the list is endless and you can experiment with ingredients you already have so no need to buy anything new, and fill up the last 1/4 of the jar with your liquid of choice. This can be almond milk, regular milk (any milk) or water. Screw on lid and place in the fridge overnight. In the morning grab your jar and enjoy a healthy homemade breakfast.

You can take it with you and eat it on the go, also suitable for lunch!

Note: I like to drizzle with honey or maple syrup in the morning just before I eat mine.

This has saved me time and money because I no longer need to think about breakfast and what am I going to cook, plus the whole family is on board so I have purchased smaller jars for the kids and they are eating healthier. In the winter months I just zap the jar for 30 seconds or 1 minute before serving.
