Short on time for breakfast in the mornings? How nice would it be to wake up and simply grab a jar of this from the fridge on your way to work? Not only would you save time, but you would also start the day with a satisfied, happy tummy. I consider that a win – and it's delicious to boot! Once you've prepared this recipe and stored several portions in jars in the fridge, you have a delicious breakfast that will last you several days. Not only is it satisfying and tasty, but it will also give you a real energy boost and put a smile on your face (especially when your workmate starts nibbling a chocolate bar at 9 a.m. – something they will certainly regret later).
