Step-by-step
- You will need: 6 portable pots with lids, plus spoons. Coarsely grate the apple on a box grater, then tip into a bowl. Add the dried fruit (finely chop it first if using larger fruit), porridge oats, flaxseeds and milk, then mix well. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave in the fridge overnight to soak and swell.
- In the morning, or when you are ready to assemble the pots, give the soaked muesli a good stir, and divide between your pots. Peel the banana and slice it at an angle. Top each pot with some sliced banana, then add a spoon of yoghurt on top (this will stop the banana turning brown in transit). Roughly chop and sprinkle over the nuts, along with the berries. Drizzle with a little honey (if using), then pop the lid on – don’t forget to take some spoons!

Jools' Quick & Easy Breakfast Pots: A Busy Mom's Secret Weapon
Mornings with kids can be chaotic, let's be honest. Between getting everyone ready, packing lunches, and making sure nobody forgets their homework, breakfast often gets rushed or skipped altogether. But a nutritious breakfast is crucial for setting the tone for a successful day, especially for growing children. That’s why I developed these simple breakfast pots – a lifesaver for busy mornings!
These portable breakfast pots are perfect for those days when time is short. They're quick to prepare the night before, and even quicker to grab and go in the morning. No more frantic searches for cereal or last-minute toast-making! My daughters love them, and honestly, so do I. They're a delicious and convenient way to ensure everyone starts their day with a healthy and satisfying meal.
What makes these pots so special? It's the combination of ingredients that creates a perfectly balanced breakfast.

It's a complete breakfast in a single, easy-to-eat package.
The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. You can easily adapt it to your family’s preferences and what you have on hand. Don't like almonds milk? Use regular milk instead! No raspberries?
