4. Overnight Quinoa or Oats
(Gluten, Dairy, Egg & Nut Free, Vegan)
Overnight oats are a new-found revelation and may be one of the easiest breakfasts out there. And did you know you can also used cooked quinoa in place of the oatmeal? Quinoa adds extra protein and will help keep you full for longer. It takes a few minutes to prepare the night before, with the refrigerator doing all the work for you! Take it to go in a mason jar and eat cold, or warm up for a cozy hot bowl! Use gluten-free oats, seed butters, and plant milk to make it allergy friendly.
