5 Healthy Mason Jar Breakfast Ideas for Every Day of the Week
As the saying goes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, hectic mornings can make it difficult to prepare a nutritious meal. Enter Mason jar breakfasts – a quick and easy way to enjoy a healthy meal on-the-go. Here are five delicious and healthy Mason jar breakfast ideas to jumpstart your mornings:
Overnight Oats
The beauty of overnight oats is that you can prepare them the night before and they’ll be ready to grab and go in the morning. Simply mix rolled oats with your favorite milk (dairy or non-dairy), sweetener of choice, and any additional toppings such as fruits, nuts, or seeds. Let the mixture sit in a Mason jar overnight and enjoy a delicious and filling breakfast in the morning.
Greek Yogurt Parfait
Layering Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and granola in a Mason jar makes for a beautiful and satisfying breakfast. Greek yogurt is packed with protein and the fiber-rich granola will keep you feeling full until lunchtime. Top with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
Breakfast Burrito Bowl
Who says you can’t have a burrito for breakfast? Layer scrambled eggs or tofu, black beans, avocado, salsa, and tortilla chips in a Mason jar for a breakfast burrito bowl that is both healthy and satisfying. This meal is also a great way to repurpose leftovers from taco night.
Fruit and Nut Salad
A fruit and nut salad is the perfect breakfast for those who prefer a lighter option in the morning. Chop up a variety of fruits such as apples, bananas, and berries and mix with nuts like almonds, walnuts, and cashews. Drizzle with a bit of honey or agave syrup for sweetness and enjoy on-the-go.
Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Mix chia seeds with coconut milk (or any milk of your choice), sweetener, and vanilla extract in a Mason jar and let sit overnight. In the morning, top with fresh fruit and enjoy a creamy and delicious breakfast pudding.
