Mason Jar Breakfast

Mason Jar Breakfast



Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While that's common knowledge it's also the meal that a lot of people seem to skip.  For many people, mornings are hectic with little time for making breakfast. Lately we've been enjoying a Mason Jar Breakfast and they might be just the answer if you're someone who wants a nutritious breakfast but doesn't have a lot of time in the morning.

Here's what you need:






  • Almond milk

  • Rolled Oats

  • Chia seeds

  • Frozen fruit

  • Vanilla

  • Cinnamon

  • Greek Yogurt

  • Honey



It's really easy to make these up ahead of time and store them in the fridge.

Directions




  • First add 1/3 cup dry rolled oats oatmeal

  • Next add just under a tablespoon of chia seeds



It's important to mix contents as you go by screwing on the lid and shaking the mason jar. (Good work out too....think shake weight ;) )



  • Now add 1/4 cup of almond milk

  • Then 1 drop of vanilla

  • A teaspoon of honey

  • Now add one tablespoon of Greek yogurt (flavored or unflavored)

  • Then a pinch of cinnamon

  • And finally a few pieces of your favorite frozen fruit



Line up your mason jars in the fridge. Now you have a quick, nutritious mason jar breakfast you can enjoy at home or take with you on the road.

How to Eat Them



You can eat a Mason Jar Breakfast cold or pop them in the microwave to heat them up first (just be sure to remove the metal lid). I have them cold and really like them that way. They look a bit scary at first but they really do taste great. They'll also keep you full and satisfied right through to lunch time.

So if you're someone who is pressed for time in the morning and wants a delicious, nutritious breakfast try making your own Mason Jar Breakfast. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how good the taste and how easy they are.

Below is a list of tips for making weight loss more effective and how to lose weight in a healthier and more structured way.
