Easy Breakfast to Go

Hey guys! Hope you are all well!

Now I don't know about you but I never leave anytime to eat properly in the morning- especially coming into midterm season- so I'm sharing with you all my favourite way to start the day. I cherish my 5 extra minutes of sleep so in order to get them I make over-night muesli. It is so simple to make- you just throw everything together in a container, put it in the fridge and voila you're done!

Now what you need is:
-2 medium apples (any kind you like- I use pink lady's because they are sweet)
-1 cup (250 mL) rolled oats
-1 cup (250 mL) coconut yogurt (I don't usually like coconut but it's delicious in this!)
-2 tbsp raw pepita (pumpkin) seeds
-2 tbsp dried cranberries
-a splash of milk

Steps:
1. Dice one apple and grate the other on your largest grater size. Place the apples in a large tupperware container.
2. Add the oats, yogurt, pepita seeds, and cranberries on top.
3. Stir to combine (adding the milk if needed to make everything stick).
4. Put the lid on and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours).
5. Portion into smaller containers to easily pack with you. And top with anything you desire (I always add fresh fruit).



This recipe makes about 2-3 servings and will last for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Whenever I do this I am assured that I will have a healthy meal first thing in the morning, even if it means eating it while doing my makeup or having it in class.

I hope this helps to give you an alternative to just grabbing a granola bar in the morning because you are in a rush- something I am very very guilty of.

TL;DR
Throw some ingredients together and be proud of yourself for being an actual self-sufficient adult.

Enjoy! And let me know if you make it yourself or if you have any other suggestions of easy breakfast ideas!
