I’'m a lazy cook - here's a hack to a 'lazy girl breakfast

Transcript

00:00Hi, my name is Holly Alton and I'm a food and drink writer for National World and here's

00:04how you can make a lazy girl breakfast yourself.

00:07Now before we get into it, let's first off explain the term lazy girl breakfast.

00:13And it's not just lazy girl breakfasts, it's lazy girl lunches, lazy girl dinners, everything.

00:19The term lazy girl to describe as a way of making food for yourself is a term that has

00:24gone a little bit viral on social media.

00:27It's not as insulting as it sounds.

00:29It's an affectionate term for women who are on the go, who are far too busy to be whipping

00:35up these really detailed, intricate and really a lot of effort put into meals.

00:42And of course this term doesn't actually just apply to women.

00:45It's basically anyone who wants to make healthy food for themselves that requires little to

00:50no effort and if it's healthy and affordable too, that is definitely an added bonus.

00:56I myself am someone who definitely struggles with getting to make myself a nice breakfast

01:02in the morning.

01:03Mostly because I can't really cook so I'm not exactly making anything too delicious or extravagant.

01:10But also because I'm one of those people that is constantly on the go and I just want something

01:15quick and easy to eat.

01:17While I mostly just eat a bowl of cereal or a breakfast bar, it's not actually that substantial

01:23and leaves me feeling quite hungry way before lunchtime even rolls around.

01:28Not only that, but it isn't exactly the healthiest food either.

01:32So I have been looking into creating lazy girl breakfasts and the one I've decided to

01:37make today is overnight oats.

01:40Now overnight oats are one of the best things you can eat on a morning if you want something

01:44that is not only easy to make, that you can prep in advance, but also that is healthy and

01:50filling.

01:51So here is how you can make overnight oats yourself.

01:55Now what I'm going to make today is a very basic overnight oats recipe, but there are plenty

02:00ways you can personalise this breakfast item to suit your tastes.

02:05So the ingredients that I'm using today are, of course, the main one, the oats.

02:10Now you have to use either rolled oats or porridge oats, which is what I have for the overnight

02:16oats recipe.

02:18That's because the way that these oats are is that they are easy to mix into either milk

02:25or yogurt, which is the next ingredient.

02:27And once left overnight, it gives you that lovely texture.

02:30I got this packet from Asda and it's Asda's own brand.

02:36So it was really affordable.

02:38As I mentioned before, the next ingredient can either be milk or yogurt.

02:42Because I want to feel full and I want a much bolder sort of texture, I've chosen to go

02:47for yogurt.

02:49And again, I went for Asda's own brand of Greek style yogurt.

02:52Because I would like this to be quite healthy, I went for the fat free version.

02:57Now this is a point where you can personalise your overnight oats.

03:02You can add seeds, you can add fruit, you can add honey, any sort of toppings that you

03:07desire.

03:08What I've chosen to add is a banana, which I'm going to chop up into little slices and

03:14honey.

03:15Now, of course, I want this to be healthy, so I'm not going to be putting a whole lot

03:18of honey on this, only a tiny drizzle.

03:20But again, it is completely your choice what you would like to personalise your overnight

03:25oats with.

03:26A lot of people choose seeds as well, which is something I definitely want to try in the

03:30future.

03:32You can look at all the health benefits of the sort of toppings you can have.

03:35And of course, what you actually like to eat and make it your own personal overnight

03:40oats breakfast.

03:42So although I've shown you the ingredients, I'm going to give you a step-by-step guide on

03:46how to make overnight oats with the ingredients I have shown you today.

03:49So the first thing you're going to do is get yourself a bowl.

03:53Next you're going to scoop in or pour in the yoghurt.

03:59It doesn't actually matter the order that you do this.

04:01You could go oats first, but I'm choosing to go yoghurt first.

04:06Then it's time to pour in the oats.

04:20As you can see, I've poured in quite a substantial amount.

04:25Then it's time to add the banana, which I have chopped into little discs.

04:29And I'm just going to pop that on there.

04:33Lastly, a drizzle of honey for that extra flavour.

04:45Now it's time to stir in the mixture and make sure it is all blended together quite nicely.

04:57And now that that's all stirred up, you cover it with foil or cling film.

05:11And that is literally how you make overnight oats.

05:15Incredibly easy, incredibly cheap, and of course, very healthy and filling.

05:19And here they are.

05:20But it is not time to eat them just yet.

05:22I'm actually doing this the day before I want to eat them.

05:25So once you've mixed all your ingredients together and covered the bowl with cling film,

05:29it's time to pop it in the fridge, leave it overnight to set.

05:33And in the morning, it will be ready for you to eat.

05:35And the newborn out is ready for you to eat, you twented.

05:40So now that I'm�.
