The basics of breakfast in a mason jar

The best thing about breakfast in a mason jar is how simple ingredients can be both healthy and, well, easy to make. If you’re a Sunday planner, you can prepare breakfast for the entire week, saving you both time and money – using these four ingredients.

• Use regular dairy or give almond milk a try. Almond milk has all the benefits of cow’s milk without the use of animal byproducts. Even Starbucks is moving away from dairy and hopes to be dairy-free by 2030. According to a 2018 University of Oxford study, a glass of milk resulted in three times more greenhouse gas emissions and nine times more land consumption than any plant-based milk.
• Yogurt. Greek yogurt not only helps with digestion but is full of protein and a great ingredient to start off your morning. Whether it’s plain or flavored, Greek yogurt will help keep you full and satisfied until lunchtime.
• Oats.You have some options here, instant oatmeal to speed the process up or some steel-cut oats. Either way, your body will benefit from this super healthy ingredient. Oatmeal is filled with fiber, helping with digestion and the regulation of cholesterol.
• Fruit.Fruit will bring your morning mason jar to the next level. Rich in vitamins, fiber and natural sugars, fruit will add the boost your mason jar breakfast needs to really shine. Blueberries, for example, provide your body with antioxidants and Vitamin C to help prevent illness.

The recipes below are simple and easy for you to grab and go. You’ll find the basic ingredients listed above (and more) but also a spin on the traditional eggs and bacon breakfast. It’s time to take the lid off and give these recipes a try.
