Let’s talk about weekday breakfast—because if you’re anything like me, Monday through Friday is not the time for slow, dreamy smoothie bowls or fresh-from-the-oven muffins. It’s a time for systems. For function. For fuel.
That’s where these Greek yogurt jars come in. I prep five of them every Sunday night and don’t think about breakfast again all week. They’re packed with protein, they hold up in the fridge, and they’re made with simple ingredients that work hard—especially if you’re someone who doesn’t have sensitivities to dairy or nuts.
No fluff, no weird powders, no expensive superfoods—just real ingredients that keep you full and focused. They’re not trendy. They’re just solid.
My Workweek Greek Yogurt Jars
Prep time: 5–10 minutes
Chill time: Overnight
Servings: 5 (one for each weekday)
Ingredients (per jar)
¾ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 scoop peanut butter powder (your favorite brand)
¼ cup milk of your choice (I usually go with almond or oat)
Topping Ideas (add the morning of):
¼ cup of your favorite granola
Fresh berries
Cinnamon
A drizzle of honey
Optional: hemp seeds, flax, or cacao nibs for extra texture
Instructions
Mix: In a bowl or directly in your jar, combine the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, peanut butter powder, and milk. Stir until everything’s well mixed and creamy.
Jar it up: Pour or spoon the mixture into a container of your choice. I use old ghee jars or mason jars because they’re the perfect size, and I like giving things a second life in the kitchen.
Chill: Store in the fridge overnight. I make five on Sunday so I’m set for the week.
Top + Go: In the morning, add your toppings—granola, fresh fruit, cinnamon, honey, whatever makes you feel good—and you’re out the door with something that actually holds you over until lunch.
These jars are everything I need in a weekday breakfast: high-protein, low-maintenance, and genuinely satisfying. They also feel done. No blending, no heating, no guessing. Just grab one, top it, and go.
If you’re trying to stay grounded and consistent during the week—especially if mornings tend to feel rushed or chaotic—this is one small habit that makes a huge difference.
Because the truth is, you don’t need a perfect routine. You just need a few solid moves that carry you through.
This one’s mine.
