Quick, easy, delicious breakfast : Recipe

Oats with vanilla yogurt and mini chocolate chips.

That’s it, that’s all you need, and it makes a healthy, simple, fast, filling breakfast that even my toddler loves! I mean he shovels it, with his hands, because a spoon just isn’t fast enough!

A little back story on my breakfast!

When I was pregnant with my first baby, (my toddler who loves these oats) it was all by accident. I was fairly poor, but thankfully I was able to get on a nutritional supplement program called WIC.

Well on my pregnant lady WIC benefits, I was allowed dry oats, and whole fat vanilla yogurt in a big tub, among other things.

But I was actually trying to do overnight oats at first, so I was only eating the yogurt as a side snack. And during my pregnancy I was ravenously hungry. If I didn’t eat in the middle of the night and first thing after waking up, I would all but pass out. It was terrible. Well I ran out of my overnight oat materials, but I did have the yogurt and chocolate chips. So I thought, I’ll try it.

And it was delicious.

I ate that regularly after that day. And then when my son was born I continued to eat it and also give it to him when he was old enough.

So here is what I do:

1/4 – 1/2 cup dry old fashioned oats in a bowl

3-4 heaving spoonfuls (give or take) of your whole fat vanilla yogurt (you can use whatever you like for yogurt, this is just what I prefer for taste and texture!)

Mix thoroughly together until creamy

Then top or mix in your mini semi sweet chocolate chips.

That’s it! Enjoy it, and I hope you try this out for you or your kiddos!

The chocolate chips are a hit!
