Easy

Preparing breakfasts in advance is such a good idea! In the morning, when you don't have time to make something, you quickly reach for the classic (and often way too sweet) granola or something else that's not really the best choice. But if you have prepared some breakfasts the days before, you always have something super tasty ready.

This version is really the bomb: your favorite unsweetened yogurt mixed with chia seeds for a filling feeling, high-quality pure nut butter, a spoonful of jam without refined sugar (I found one with agave!), and on top a layer of pure chocolate that hardens in the fridge. You make six jars at once, store them in the fridge or freezer, and can then enjoy each day with different toppings.

This one is the version with pistachio butter, banana, and an extra crunchy topping of pistachios.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Stir 1 teaspoon of chia seeds into each jar, then mix the peanut butter and jam into the yogurt. Gently mix to create a nice swirl.
Make the chocolate layer - Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Pour a tablespoon of melted chocolate on top of each jar and smooth it out. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour until the chocolate hardens.
Add topping - Slice half a banana into rounds for each jar. Spoon 1 teaspoon of pistachio butter over the banana. Sprinkle with pistachios and possibly extra mixed nuts. Serve with a halved kiwi.
Storage - Seal the jars tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Tips

Try replacing pistachio butter with almond or cashew butter for variety.
You can also use frozen fruit, but add it only when eating, so it doesn't get too wet.
For an extra protein boost, you can mix some protein powder into the yogurt.
Melt chocolate with a splash of coconut oil for a softer bite.
Make a mix of toppings for the whole week: this keeps it surprising every morning.
