The classic way to cook most cereals is simmering, sometimes with pre-soaking the cereal, sometimes quick cooking (as, for example, with semolina). Already in the finished porridge, you can add or not add additional ingredients to improve its taste. But there is so little time in the mornings, and you want to sleep an extra 10 minutes before work so much that you simply don’t have the strength to cook porridge.

The way out is fast “lazy” cereals in jars!

Which cereal is healthier: choose your favorite cereal

Of course, taste preferences come first.

But each cereal has its own “package” of nutrients that are beneficial to the body.

For example…

• Buckwheat (100g/329 kcal). In this cereal there is an abundance of calcium and iron, B vitamins, as well as easily digestible proteins (note - it is not without reason that in China this porridge is often replaced with meat). Buckwheat is useful for puffiness, chronic liver problems, for the prevention of hypertension and heart problems, and even for the prevention of cancer (due to 8% quercetin in the composition). Groats help speed up digestion, and when “soaked” overnight, it becomes an ideal “brush” for the intestines for breakfast.
• Corn (100g/325 kcal) . An ideal cereal for the normalization of the intestines, the breakdown of fat in the body, and the prevention of dental problems. The composition contains silicon, and one of the advantages is low calorie content.
• Semolina (100g / 326 kcal). Useful for anyone who suffers from gastritis and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Minus - gluten in the composition, capable of washing out calcium.
• Oatmeal, sir (100g / 345 kcal). The porridge is very satisfying and high-calorie, useful for "ulcers and teetotalers." Contains a lot of useful substances. Provides an enveloping effect in the stomach. The perfect start to the day.
• Barley (100g/324 kcal) . Despite the specific taste and not the most appetizing appearance, this porridge is considered one of the most useful. Barley is ideal for allergy sufferers and people with anemia, it enhances metabolism, promotes weight loss. The composition contains a huge amount of useful microelements, vitamins of group B.
• Millet (100g / 334 kcal). A very useful cereal. Millet removes excess salt, water and fat from the body, promotes the regeneration of skin cells, improves the functioning of blood vessels and the heart. It contains a lot of vitamin A, magnesium and calcium salts. Minus - quickly deteriorates. If the cereal has turned pale and lost its rich yellow tint, throw it away, it is stale.
• Rice (100 g / 323 kcal). This porridge of all cereals is the longest in cooking time. Rice is rich in vegetable proteins. It is easily digested, removes toxins and excess salt, its decoction is useful for poisoning and stomach diseases, etc.

The best recipes for quick cereals: cooking in the evening!

Such a phenomenon as lazy porridge in a jar is already quite a common thing for most busy people who care about their health. No one will argue that cereals are extremely important for health and immunity in general, but due to lack of time in the morning, only the evening remains to prepare a delicious and healthy breakfast for yourself in advance.

In addition, a similar cooking method (without cooking) is more useful, because most vitamins and microelements are not digested, but remain in the product and enter the body.

The number of recipes for such cereals tends to infinity, so we suggest that you get acquainted with the most popular of them.
