I am guessing such is the case with everyone out\nthere. To add to the work deadlines we also have parenting deadlines to meet.\nOh wait, are there really any parenting deadlines because it\u2019s a never ending\njob. So let me rephrase that to school deadlines. In all this chaos we\ndefinitely do not want to impact our food habits. This momma has tried so hard\nto set a healthy breakfast routine which she definitely does not want to spoil.\nSo I am going to put out three simple and healthy recipes for which you can\nprep in advance and your breakfast is sorted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo-1494597564530-871f2b93ac55.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2821\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overnight Soaked Oats<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am guessing this has to be a family favorite for quite a\nfew. It is tasty, healthy and very easy to prepare. You can add fruits to these\nand even add peanut butter too. You can top it off with dry fruits too. May be\nsneak in some Choco-chips for the little man and it\u2019s a win-win for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oats<\/strong> &#8211; Use the\nraw old fashioned oats. Do not use the ready to eat ones. The consistency comes\nout the best with rolled oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Milk<\/strong>&#8211; You need\nthe milk for the liquid part. This helps with the soaking of the oats and makes\nthe oats really soft. If you want you can opt for plant based milk or even low\nfat milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chia Seeds<\/strong> &#8211;\nThis is my favorite part. These are packed with goodness, nutrition and also\ngive the oats a good texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yogurt <\/strong>&#8211; You\ncan use the Greek yogurt too. This gives the oats a little tanginess and creamy\ntexture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sweetener<\/strong> \u2013\nYou can add honey or maple syrup. I sometimes add jaggery powder too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toppings &#8211; You can add chopped fruits or dry fruits. I\nlike mine with apples, blueberry, almonds and some walnuts. Crunchy and creamy texture\ntogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Method<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to take the ingredients in a big bowl or a mason\njar in the following proportion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 part oats<\/li><li> 1 part chia seeds <\/li><li> 2 Tbsp. of Greek yogurt <\/li><li> 1 part milk (same as the oats) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix all of the above in the same order. You can add more\nmilk if you like. Mix it well to ensure there are no lumps. Chill in the fridge\novernight. Next morning grab the bowl, add your favorite toppings, sweetener\nand you are good to go. Wholesome and yummy, together in a bowl for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_20200120_163637.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2823\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sweet Potato Chaat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tangy and a little spicy mix along with the sweetness\nof sweet potato makes for a great snack option. I prefer having it for breakfast\nas it keeps me full till lunch plus sweet potato is packed with vitamins, minerals,\nantioxidants, and fibre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>2 medium sized sweet potatoes, boiled and chopped.<\/li><li> 1 -2 medium spicy green chilly <\/li><li> 5 -6 curry leaves <\/li><li> 1 tsp cumin seeds <\/li><li> 1 tsp mustard seeds <\/li><li> 1\/3<sup>rd<\/sup> cup of crushed peanuts <\/li><li> 1 tbsp. ghee or oil <\/li><li> Salt to taste <\/li><li> For Garnish &#8211; Coriander leaves <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Once the oil is hot add the\ncumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter. Now add the curry leaves and\nchopped green chilies. Give it a quick stir. Now add the sweet potato and add\nthe salt. Toss it well. Let the sweet potato get a little crisp. Keep stirring\nin between to avoid sticking to the pan. Now add the crushed peanuts and give\nit a good stir. Garnish with coriander. Add a dash of lime juice if you want.\nIt is indeed yummy in my tummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/decodinglives.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo-1498507297833-5373e346b4e0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2822\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fruit Bowl and Eggs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is easy and nutritious and the bub loves it too.\nThe best part you get to add whatever fruits are available at home. You can\nprepare it as an overnight fruit bowl too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3 fruits chopped (use whatever is available at home)<\/li><li> 2 Tbsp. chopped nuts. <\/li><li> 2 Tbsp. of Greek yogurt or plain yogurt <\/li><li> 1 Tbsp.Chia Seeds \u2013 Optional <\/li><li> 2 Boiled Eggs. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take all the chopped fruits in a bowl.
