The Breakfast Club: MY creative

 As I try to find ways of eating a more healthy and varied breakfast I decided to ask a few of my internet friends and readers to share their favorite breakfast. (My usual breakfast is  almost always the same, bread, butter, tea and some sort of jam). Today I am excited to bring you the super talented photographer and all around creative Michelle from MY Creative Photography. By the way, I would be thrilled if you would like to participate in this weekly series, in which case, just send a breakfast themed post to: poppiesandicecream@gmail.com

I was excited when Amanda asked if I wanted to contribute to this new series as I often try to eat healthy but often fail.  The recipes I share on my own blog generally lean towards the healthy end but temptation and the lack of planning often makes it hard to stick to a good eating regime.

One of the hardest things I find in eating healthy is my inevitable rush in the morning to get into work which leads to me buying some awfully monstrous breakfast on the go.  One of my solutions for this dilemma is breakfast in a jar!

This one is super simple but that is the point right.  You will need one grated pear, 1/3 cup of oats (I like the jumbo variety) and around 250-300 ml oatmilk, or whatever brand of milk you prefer.  I find oatmilk has a creamy luxury-ness to it that makes it feel 'naughty' although it is pretty low calories.  Then put the grated pear in the jar, cover with oats and then milk. You could also layer it alternatively if you are going to eat it straight out the jar.  By the time I have got to work the oats have softened with the milk and I feel I have had a much more nutritious start to the day.

This is also great with apple and though I haven't tried would be pretty good with mashed/chopped berries or even nectarine/peach type fruits.

The jar concept is also perfect for smoothies on the go.  What would you put in a jar?
