Mum made 94 serves of breakfast and snacks for $30 and it only took 3 hours!

We’ve always been taught to eat breakfast, the saying ‘it’s the most important meal of the day’ was constantly drilled into our minds. And as it turns out it actually is!

According to a recent study found by Researchers from Tel Aviv University, skipping breakfast has the ability to disrupt the bodys internal clock and cause weight gain, even if you don’t overeat for the rest of the day.

Mum, Jinjamarda found that meal prepping 9 meals of breakfast and snacks ensures herself and her family never skip this important meal and snack throughout the day to minimise overeating.

Side note: she did this all while spending $30.30!

A snack a day keeps the kilos away

“It blew me away how much I am saving by making these snacks,” Jinjamarda tells us.

Jinjamarda spent a total of $30.30 making these 9 recipes which made 94 individual serves of breakfast and snacks.

She adds, “total prep time was just under 3.5hrs including cooking time and most importantly they taste amazing too!”
