5-2 Recipes Breakfast Snack Jars

BREAKFAST SNACK JAR 

These little snack jars are a great way to have a healthy 100 calorie breakfast on the run. Find yourself a small lidded jar, such as an empty jam jar, and fill it with the ingredients in advance. These can even be prepared the night before. I have listed a few of my favourite combinations here, but there are an infinite number of variations, so please take a look at the chart at the bottom of the page.
