You know those days when you look at the next days diary and realise it’s just going to be a hectic morning, with no time for breakfast? Or those evenings you feel dog-tired and know you need a few extra minutes in bed? Well in my mind not eating breakfast is NOT AN OPTION. I don’t function well on an empty stomach and eating breakfast has been linked to improved concentration, recall and productiveness so you NEED to eat it.
My fallback plan is to grab a jar and make my breakfast the night before. Sounds a bit crazy but it really does work and because I make it in a jar I can take it and eat it on the go if necessary. You could even make this and grab it to eat in bed the next morning 😉 I’m also thinking this is going to be great for sleep deprived days once baby comes (I’m 27 weeks pregnant) when I’ve been up half the night and am just ravenous. I can grab the jar and eat it whilst breastfeeding. Perfection.
- 30g oats
- 100ml low fat natural yoghurt
- 50ml milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 50g greengages
- Place the oats in the bottom of a jar or bowl.
- Top with the yoghurt, milk and cinnamon and mix into the oats.
- Top with the fruit.
- Now simply cover the jar/bowl and leave overnight in the fridge.
- The next morning it's all ready to eat.
- There are so many variations you could make on this. Use fruit yoghurt, difference fruit, add seeds, nuts or whatever takes your fancy! Go create.

Looks amazing!!! Does the oats already have to be cooked? Can I put normal rolles oats in?
Hi Hannah, yes normal rolled oats will work fine. Try it, I bet you will love it! No cooking required.
