A Protein- and Fiber-Packed Breakfast You Can Grab and Go
Inspired by Santina’s Women’s Strength & Power Pantry, I asked her about her actual morning routine—specifically, what she eats for breakfast.
Her go-to? Overnight oats with yogurt, kefir, nuts, and seeds. It sounded so simple, practical, and delicious that I had to try it myself—and it completely transformed my mornings.
Why This Breakfast Works
First of all, this meal is surprisingly filling. I used to down a 16oz mason jar of coffee first thing in the morning, so I prepped this recipe in the same-sized jar. Oh boy, I couldn’t even finish it! Seriously.
Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, this breakfast keeps me full well into the afternoon. Santina might need lunch because of her intense workouts, but on days when I’m at my desk, I can easily skip it without feeling hungry.
The best part? It’s effortless. Just prep it the night before, let the seeds and oats soak and soften, and grab it on your way out the door.
