This is the best healthy fast and/or to go breakfast. You can make a few at a time so you’re ready for the hustle of the week. This is the version I like best, but you can easily make substitutions depending on what kind of liquid base you prefer, the fruits, and the seeds I get all my ingredients at Trader Joe’s, but you can probably find them at most grocery stores – you just might pay a bit more.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (can also use flax or hemp seeds, but don’t use all 3 or you’ll feel super bloated with all that fiber)
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional if you’re not a fan of this flavor)
• A few sprinkles of cinnamon
• 1 heaping tablespoon crunchy or smooth all natural peanut butter (could also use 1/4 cup chopped nuts such as walnuts, but if doing that, don’t add until you’re ready to eat so they don’t get soggy)
• 1/4 cup blueberries or other fruit – Get creative with different flavor combinations. I’ve enjoyed frozen mangoes, apples, pears, and bananas, but don’t add those last two until you’re ready to eat because they’ll get brown.
• Almond or oat milk

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Mix together first four dry ingredients in a mason jar.
3. Add next three wet ingredients and stir until peanut butter is evenly distributed and the dry ingredients are no longer stuck on the bottom. Fill to the top with the liquid or leave room for adding other ingredients.
4. Put in the refrigerator overnight.
5. Grab and go in the morning. Can also add final ingredients such as bananas and walnuts. Depending on how thick it looks, you may need to add a little more almond or oat milk. Enjoy!
