    Healthy Breakfast on the Go -- The Latest Brazilian Thing!

    Gluten FreeVegetarian

    Jump to Recipe ↓

    Healthy Breakfast on the Go is the latest Brazilian thing! Just like Americans and many other people in the world, Brazilians are getting busier and busier. Many cannot afford to sit down and eat breakfast before heading off to work. Because of our crazy traffic, many have to leave home earlier and earlier. Our breakfast on the go is a complete meal stored in a jar that requires no cooking at all, and can be prepared the night before and refrigerated, making it easy to transport to work or any other place. It can also be eaten at lunch time, if desired.

    It is a meal for starting off the day energized! Our healthy breakfast on the go consists of 3 layers of pure yuminess: Mashed banana mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder, nuts, and uncoooked rolled oats makes up the first layer, followed by a second layer of strawberry slices. The third and final layer consists of a mixture of Greek yogurt mixed with chia seeds and a hint of honey. To make it prettier, you can garnish with dried fruits. As you can see, our breakfast on the go is loaded with fibers, proteins, vitamins and antioxidants... If this is not healthy and fulfilling, then I don't know what healthy is...

    You can customize your breakfast or lunch according to your diet and needs. You can try this and many other versions combining oats, granola, quinoa, cooked tapioca, peanut butter, nuts, seeds such as chia, pepitas and sunflower, fruits both fresh and dried, and high protein, low sugar yogurts (and if you are sensitive to dairy, soy yogurt for example). You can also store in a jar or lunch box salads made from whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds to take along with you. All that you will need is a refrigerator to store it.

    Another advantage is you will be taking with you just the right sized portion, avoiding overeating and excessive snacking.

    Try it and fall in love! Your waistline will certainly thank you...

      The whole planet is in overdrive! Yet we all need a healthy breakfast to begin our days. Making breakfast the night before is genius, especially with such wonderful flavors!

      Super lovely idea! I like the addition of chia seeds, which only recently I started using, and find that they give an interesting texture to smoothies and other concoctions

      Being able to prepare it the day before makes this recipe even better!

      It's a super healthy and beautiful breakfast. I love how you've used small jars for on the go, genius. My family enjoys chia puddings, and have started making them more often. It's always nice to see variations to this my dear.

      That first layer of mashed banana, cocoa powder, nuts, and uncoooked rolled oats sounds wonderful on it's own - but with the strawberries and chia-yogurt - this is EPIC! Perfect to eat while stuck in traffic!
