Berry Bircher Jars
I’ve been getting into the whole ‘Sunday meal prep’ routine and let me tell you it’s a game-changer! I like to pick 3-5 meals to prep for the week and one that I’ve been coming back to week after week are these Bircher Berry Jars.They are the definition of easy, nourishing, and delicious. I typically make 4 for the week and find that they get devoured within the first 1-2 days by either Matt, myself, or the kids.
My Berry Bircher Jars are the perfect;
- Easy breakfast
- Post-workout snack (use ½ the bircher and the rest for the next day)
- They are great for busy mama's who need a quick lunch or energy boost
- The kids love them with a little maple and some banana on top
- You can also throw them in your bag and take them with you to the park if you’re pushed for time.
Basically, you’re going to love them and they will 100% make your week that much easier.
What’s in Each Berry Bircher Jar:
Old Fashioned Oats – I love these oats for bircher bowls or when I make Georgia's Favourite Blueberry Porridge which we still have 2-3x a week (recipe is in my first ebook) The old-fashioned oats give it more texture, chewiness, and depth and are a must add in my opinion.Chia Seeds – The perfect bircher addition. These little omega 3, calcium-rich seeds soak up the liquid, keep you full and turn your bircher into creamy pudding-like deliciousness.Dried Mango – Georgia’s favourite dried fruit. I love adding this for a little sweetness and flavour.Goji Berries – Antioxidant-rich, full of vitamin C, and great for a little immune boost. I’ve been adding them into our porridge and bircher jars for a while now and love the flavour, colour, and goodness that they add-in.Pumpkin Seeds – A great source of zinc, vitamin E, and protein. I love these little seeds and am always adding them to our smoothies, porridge, and salads for a boost of nutrients.Almond Milk – I love how light this plant milk is but you can also easily use oat milk or soy milk which will give it a richer flavour. I use Little Island Almond Milk.Coconut Yogurt – If you want your bircher jars to be thick and creamy then definitely add in some coconut yogurt. I use the Raglan Berry Coconut Yogurt for a dollop of probiotics, healthy fats, and deliciousness.
