Oatmeal in a jar with yogurt - a healthy and quick breakfast without cooking

Hello friends!

Today you will again have to endure my whining a little. But it will pass soon, I promise.

Lately the whole world has turned on proper nutrition and healthy food. Aunties are scouring the internet looking for chia seeds, quinoa, coconut flour, etc.

This is all commendable, of course. I myself with both hands For a healthy lifestyle no frills.

PP: Proper Nutrition or Complete Kick?

But since you, my friends, have decided to switch to proper nutrition, then eat more fruits, vegetables, sour milk, etc. No need to run headlong through culinary resources in search of butter-free pies, flour-free cookies and sugar-free cakes . I'm telling you right now, it's all bullshit. Napoleon without sugar or shortbread without butter is immediately full, excuse the expression, but ... pa. Baking - that's what baking is for, to be incredibly tasty and harmful.

Most of all, I am amused by statements like: “Oh, what a cool recipe! And let's remake it under #pp: replace condensed milk with dry milk, butter with cottage cheese, and flour with flax seeds! And tell me, please, what will be in common between these two recipes. That's right: NOTHING!

The beauty of home baking lies in the unique aroma of good butter, in the moist texture that can only be formed thanks to sugar, in the splendor and airiness of real wheat flour.

So decide: or delicious pastries, or healthy food . And do not try to cross a hedgehog with a rhinoceros.

If I keep track of nutrition, then I will not frantically dig diet recipes for baking in bouts of withdrawal, but I will go for a ruban of natural yogurt with fresh berries or cottage cheese with honey, just fruit at the worst. Why complicate your already difficult front-line youth.

Healthy ≠ delicious?

BUT! Of course, all of the above does not mean that you cannot make awesome original desserts from such ordinary and boring #pp products. Simply, I don’t see the point in such cases to spend my own and electrical energy on an oven, slow cooker, bread machine, etc., etc. In short, one of these quick desserts without cooking will be dedicated to today’s #healthyfood post. On Instagram, such desserts are also called “ breakfast in a jar” (symptoms on the face: today's overabundance of visits to IG is clearly affecting).

Oatmeal in a jar is a healthy and quick breakfast without cooking: pour oatmeal in the evening and take out a healthy and delicious breakfast from the refrigerator in the morning. It remains only to add fruits or nuts as desired.

I think everyone knows health benefits of oatmeal for bowel function and weight loss in general. In addition, oatmeal belongs to whole grains (complex carbohydrates), which leave a feeling of satiety for a long time, energize, and the fiber contained in them helps to remove toxins from the body.

I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every day and have seen all of the above from personal experience.

This may be news to some, but natural Greek yogurt is a rich source of protein. There are about 10 grams of protein per 100 grams of Greek yogurt. I also eat it almost every day, for dinner, after a workout.

By the way, such oatmeal in a jar is an ingenious way out for people with milk intolerance. For example, I have a lot of acquaintances who love oatmeal, but they can’t stand milk. Therefore, this option for them is a real find. Because thanks to the ratio of yogurt and water 50/50, the taste is not as sour as, for example, oatmeal on kefir or on pure yogurt. Banana also balances out with its healthy sweetness, so if you don't add it, then double the amount of honey.

In general, this dessert is savory. Therefore, if you are a fan of sweet oatmeal, then pour the fruit on top with another spoonful of honey. But for me, for example, this taste is just right.

Breakfast in a jar - a new trend in the field of healthy eating

In general, breakfast in a jar is a new trend in the field of healthy eating, which I fully approve and support. This is not only a very cool way to minimize the time spent preparing breakfast, but also a very convenient solution for storing and transporting such a healthy and healthy breakfast with you to work, study, school, etc.

Plus, this recipe is completely free of sugar and any strange additives or substitutes. As a sweetener, 1 banana and 1 tbsp are used. honey. And this is for three, as they used to say, MAYONNAISE jars of 250 ml.

To be honest, I thought that one such jar would be too much for one time, but, as it turned out, no: just right! I will say more, for the summer such a breakfast is even cooler than oatmeal with milk, which I really love. It even reminds me of ice cream :-)

Short list of products:

• banana, ripe - 1 pc. (optional)
• oatmeal - 150 gr. (I have thin ones)
• natural Greek yogurt - 250 gr. (I have 10%, but if you are losing weight, it is better to take 2%)
• water, cool - 250 gr.
• cinnamon -½ tsp
• honey - 1 tbsp.

By the way, it should be noted that the only real Greek yogurt produced in Greece is MEVGAL brand yogurt. If he comes across to you, give preference to him.

Cooking method

Oatmeal in a jar with fruit or nuts is not only a healthy and quick breakfast, but also a very tasty and satisfying snack at any time of the day and anywhere.

On this I say goodbye until the next meetings on the pages of the Sweet Chronicles.

On the wire from the already very sunny Greece was Olga Afinskaya.

As always, best regards...

good luck to you, love and patience.
