Waste free Breakfasts

I was surfing around the net and came across this lovely collection of overnight oat breakfast collection:

So, last week I soaked oats in coconut water and or milk. I then added dried fruit, frozen fruit, seeds and cinnamon. No two days were the same and they were all delicious! There was very little waste, I bought the oats, dried fruits and cinnamon from my local scoop shop and filled my jars there. The milk is in a glass bottle from the milk man. The coconut water was in a tetra pack that can be recycled. The only real 'baddie' was the frozen fruit that comes in a none recyclable bag. However, this week fresh raspberries were on offer for 39p in my local green grocer so I bought them in a plastic punnet and shoved them in my freezer. At lest the punnets can be recycled...
This week I also bought some nuts and I filled paper bags and they are all in a jar waiting to be added to my breakfast bowl!
The wide variety means that breakfasts won't get boring and every now and then I can go back to the link and grab another idea or two...
