🥣 Yogurt-Based Breakfast

• Any kind of yogurt (Greek, plain, flavored – any amount you like)

💡 Helpful Tips & Substitutions

• Don’t stress if you're missing toppings. Yogurt, bread, and oats alone are enough to keep you going.
• Balance is key: aim to include grains + protein + fruits or veggies.
• Craving more color? Mix berries, bananas, citrus, or even herbs like mint.
• optionally you can always add a side dish or drink to make up whatever you feel lacking:
  • need more vege: use olive oil, salt pepper on any vege (such as avocado), optionally can add lemon juice to the vegetables
  • need more grains: consider cereal, corn chips, oatmeal
  • need more fruits: consider fruit cup or fruit drinks
  • need more protein: consider yogurt, ham, smoked salmon or protein rich drink (such as cow milk, soy milk, almond milk and etc.)
• wash and store fruits in batch saves time

🔁 Storage & Reheating

• Overnight oats can be prepped and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Yogurt bowls are best fresh, but can be pre-packed the night before (keep crunchy toppings separate).
• Bread toppings like tuna-mayo mix can be stored in a sealed container for 2–3 days.
