Notes
A 350 ml clip top jar is ideal for a takeout breakfast. Just mix the ingredients in the jar, place in the fridge overnight and take with you in the morning.A 500 ml clip top jar makes it easier to mix and gives room for additional toppings, but it takes up more room in the fridge and more space in your work bag. I used this size in the photo you can see here.Please note: calories and other nutritional information are per serving. They’re approximate and will depend on exact ingredients used.
