Today’s installment will teach you how to have a quick, filling, healthy breakfast for the week. Every weekday I have granola and yogurt, but it isn’t as simple as just adding the two together. We have to maximize taste/health and minimize time/cost. This is how I make my breakfast meet those goals.

This is a picture of most of my raw materials: 5 cups granola, big container of yogurt, fruit, 5x containers, 5x plastic bags optional: dried fruit and nuts

Step 1: Separate the yogurt out into the 5 containers. Get a big container of plain Greek yogurt. The granola and fruit will have plenty of sweetness to them so stick with plain yogurt, and Greek yogurt has even less sugar and more protein!

Step 2: Separate out your fruit and throw it in the with yogurt. Then close up the containers. Throw these in the fridge. Note that water will probably separate from the yogurt but this doesn’t matter at all. You’ll just mix everything back up when you eat.

Step 3: Put 1 cup of granola in each of your plastic bags. In order to reduce the chance of making a mess and speed up the process I just put most of the measuring cup into the plastic bag so it acts as a backstop. Then I don’t pour it everywhere.

Optional: Add dried fruit/nuts to the granola!

That is it. In the morning on your way out just grab 1 of each container and then eat it at work. I purposefully eat breakfast at work to use their time and not my own. Additionally the reason I do all of this at one time is that by doing it all at the same time I make 5 breakfasts in 10 minutes rather than 1 breakfast every morning in 4 minutes. You can easily do this while making the Fish/Broccoli/rice from my other post.
