Overnight oats are like a porridge that doesn’t require any cooking - instead, oats are soaked for 3+ hours or overnight and normally served cold. They’re super convenient for anyone who doesn’t have time to make a healthy breakfast from scratch in the mornings. You can spend 5 minutes preparing the night before or make a big batch at the weekend and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. BUT - careful consideration must be taken to ensure fats and proteins are added in to keep blood sugar more stable. These recipes should do the trick!

Serves 1 as a main.

Classic Berries

Method:

Ingredients:

Combine all the overnight mixture and mix well. You can either mix the fruit in with the overnight mixture, or top the following morning - or both, as I have done. I like the colour the overnight oats go if you leave the fruit in overnight.
Leave in the fridge for 3+ hours, or overnight if you can.
Garnish as you’d like!

50g oats
100ml milk of choice

Pinch of sea salt

1 tsp ground flaxseed
Drizzle maple syrup / raw honey
1/2 teaspoon good quality vanilla essence / paste
1 handful of mixed fresh / frozen berries (pref. organic). Frozen cherries are also delicious!
