This healthy meal in a jar will only require 10 minutes of your time and is vegan and gluten-free. It’s a jar filled with superfoods like goji berries, flaxseed, walnuts, apples, and gluten-free rolled oats.

Superfood Definition: A marketing jargon used to refer to foods packed with nutrients as per a scientific analysis.

One convenient thing about this is that you can prep the meal a few days in advance because it can last up to 5 days.

2. Chia Seed Pudding with Almond Milk

Chia seed pudding can only be prepared in less than 5 minutes and is also vegan and gluten-free.

It’s not surprising if this is very quick to prep because you’ll only need two ingredients: chia seeds and almond milk.

Mix these ingredients together, chill it overnight, and you’ll savor a nutritious and delicious breakfast the following morning.

3. Fruit and Greek Yogurt Parfait

This vegan meal prep is ready in 10 minutes! It’s a perfect breakfast for people who love granola and fruits. The ingredients are affordable and you can prepare the meal the night before.

This keeps your stomach full to fuel you for the long day.

5. Banana and Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

A cup-sized baked banana and chocolate chip oatmeal makes a perfect source of heart-healthy grains and fiber. Stuff the mixture into a muffin tin and then, bake it to achieve your muffin-form oatmeal breakfast.

6. Sausage Spinach Pepper Omelet in a Jar

Your omelet can be filled with veggies and be as fluffy as it can be. Add some yogurt in the batter to achieve the right texture.
