Healthy Toddler Breakfast: Strawberry Banana Overnight Oats

March 25, 2021      Leave a Comment

I’m always looking for healthy breakfast ideas for my twin toddlers and these strawberry banana overnight oats are so delicious (and easy)! My girls love eggs and eat them most mornings, but it’s nice to change it up and offer them something different once in a while. I love that this breakfast is plant-based, gluten free and full of good nutrients!

Disclosure: this post is sponsored by Almond Breeze but opinions are my own.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that feeding my girls healthy and nutritious foods is really important to me and I share a lot of what they eat daily. I definitely believe that feeding kids clean and healthy foods from a young age helps them become great little eaters. My girls are pretty adventurous and eat tons of different foods: chicken, steak, avocado, almond butter, goat cheese, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, asparagus, pecans, dates, almondmilk, green smoothies and the list goes on and on. I’m really proud of them and their willingness to try most things! The key foods I focus on giving them are TONS of vegetables, fruits, multiple sources of protein and healthy fats. Don’t get me wrong, we let them have treats and be kids, but we try to always choose cleaner ingredient choices because it truly does matter!

So back to breakfast! There are so many ways to make overnight oats, but I thought with summer right around the corner I would try a refreshing recipe with fruits. You can make them with the liquid of your choosing, but I like to use a combination of dairy-free options like Almond Breeze Almondmilk Yogurt and Almond Breeze Almondmilk (these together with the oats make an unbelievably creamy mix). If you haven’t tried Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze Almondmilk Yogurt you definitely need to; it’s a great plant-based, dairy-free yogurt that has no artificial ingredients and is a good source of calcium and an excellent source of vitamin E. It’s the perfect dairy-free choice that won’t have you sacrificing taste.

Putting this recipe together literally takes about 5 minutes – it’s so easy! First, stir together the Almond Breeze Almondmilk, Almond Breeze Almondmilk Yogurt and old-fashioned oats. Next, use half of the mixture and divide it between two serving dishes (I used cute wine glasses because I didn’t have the usual glass jars). Then start layering half of the sliced strawberries and bananas. I like to add a little crunch to my overnight oats, so I always put some gluten-free granola in (add half to this layer). After that just start over and add each layer again. If you want it to be extra pretty, you can garnish it with strawberries or bananas. Once I’m done with the layers, I drizzle a little bit of honey on top and put the dishes in the fridge to sit overnight!

Trust me, your toddler(s) will love this fun breakfast – mine devoured these overnight oats and then asked for more! Also, there are SO many varieties to try; the possibilities are really endless! The next one I make will definitely have some chocolate and almond butter in it, yum. Let me know if you try this recipe or a variation in the comments!

Having twins in Pre-K this year has brought on a l Having twins in Pre-K this year has brought on a lot of new experiences. The girls are branching out and becoming more independent, playing with and making different friends while being in the same class, learning lots of new things, etc. 

Starting school was always met with the question “should they be in the same class?” It’s a question we thought about a lot and sought out opinions from family, friends and other twin parents. We ultimately decided that since it’s Pre-K and only a couple of hours…the same class would obviously be much more conducive to our schedules (esp being a single vehicle family). I wondered if they would get along, lean on each other too much, etc. Ultimately it was the right choice because they are thriving and their teacher says they connect briefly in class, but overall do their own thing.

I’m not sure what we will do next school year for Kindergarten. I’ll occasionally ask them how they feel about it and they always say they want to stay together - which is so funny because they bicker a LOT at home. 😄 Their teacher gasped when I told her that because they are angels at school, of course lol. 

Twin moms, what did you do when your twins started school?

Honestly thought, God bless this boy. 🥰 Henry Honestly thought, God bless this boy. 🥰

Henry is just about 16 months and is such a little man. He is walking and pretty much running, climbing, saying some words like mama, dada, done, book and lots of “B” words. He is not as enthusiastic about baby sign yet but he’s got “all done” down. He *loves* to watch the squirrels outside and squeals with joy every time they come to eat the bird food. We finally got rid of all but one bottle at bedtime because he was too comfortable and not eating enough real food lol. Mom and dad were comfortable with it too until we found out he was a little anemic. Oops! Now he’s eating a ton and there are no worries (still in that 94th percentile lol). I’m still pumping because this boy does love his milk. He’s gotten really good at drinking out of his regular and straw cups instead of bottles and we’ve moved onto cold milk. He’s very into throwing…everything. He is so strong it’s unbelievable sometimes. Raising a boy compared to the girls is SO different it blows my mind most days. I’ve found that every milestone so far has been a little bit behind when the girls hit them, like I’m pretty sure they were signing and talking a little more! I don’t like to compare them for any reason other than it’s just interesting! Babies are all so different and we are so comfortable just letting Henry be Henry. 🥰 He’s the best little dude!

During the cold winter months we get a little stir During the cold winter months we get a little stir crazy and it’s so helpful to have active things for the kids to do. These wooden play structures from @lilyandriver get used everyday in our playroom! The girls rearrange them into a million different possibilities and they have held up so well with all the rough-housing. 😁 Having open-ended toys is great for their creativity too!

Our latest addition is the Little Rocker and it’s a huge hit - they love pretending it’s a pirate ship! Use my code MILLER10 for a discount!

It is *stunning* to say the least. It’s extremely soft and warm while also lightweight so it doesn’t feel bulky. Plus it’s super flattering - I’ll be wearing it all winter here in the Northeast!

It’s a 12/10, highly recommend! Use code CHRISTINA20 for 20% off!

I’ve been focusing on family time and getting things done around the house lately. We’ve had a few hiccups already this year lol but all is well and we are dealing with everything!

I made time to write down my goals for the year and really plan how I want life to look by the end of 2023. No one resolution but lots of small things I want to accomplish.

I still feel like I’m unofficially on winter break social media wise but hopefully I get some motivation and inspiration this week. 🙂
