Healthy Recipe

Prep 5 minChill OvernightServes 1Vegetarian

If mornings feel rushed, overnight oats are your new best friend. You stir everything into one jar at night, sleep, and wake up to a creamy, fibre-rich breakfast that’s ready to go.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy, oat or almond)
  • 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tbsp banana slices, to top

Method

  1. Add oats, chia, milk, yoghurt and honey to a jar. Stir well.
  2. Fold in half of the berries, seal, and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours).
  3. In the morning, top with the remaining berries and banana. Add a splash of milk if you like it looser.

Make 3 jars at once for grab-and-go breakfasts through the busiest part of your week.

Simple swaps

Stir in a spoon of peanut butter for extra staying power, swap berries for grated apple and cinnamon in cooler months, or add a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout version.
