To help busy people enjoy nourishing breakfasts, [Brekki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apples-cinnamon) is introducing portable breakfast cups filled with overnight oats, ancient grains and fruit on the bottom. The new line of overnight oats boasts favorite flavor combinations like Apple & Cinnamon, Banana & Maple Brown Sugar plus a superfood variety that plays on the popularity of acai bowls.

As well as being yogurt-like for containing fruit on the bottom, these cups are offered in the standard 5.3-ounce packaging used for yogurt products, which makes them perfect for packing on-the-go breakfasts or lunch snacks. These satiating portable breakfast cups are a hearty alternative to yogurt on its own, as they are dairy-free, non-GMO, gluten-free and suitable for vegan consumers.
