Fast breakfast doesn’t always need to come in a package. We try to make as many of our foods so that we can grab them on the way out the door because life rarely goes the way we plan it to. This Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Parfait is perfect for that because I make it in a mason jar, screw on the lid, and bring a plastic spoon with me. When I’m done with breakfast, I can just throw away the spoon and put the lid back on the jar. A healthy breakfast done frugally AND quickly! It’s great for kids too!
