Try our overnight protein oats, then try our protein porridge, winter sunshine breakfast bowl or baked oats.

I made this to serve four so you can meal prep but ingredients are easily halved (or even doubled). I also made this vegan but it's completely up to you, you can change the milk/yogurt to dairy if you like. I would suggest semi-skimmed and 0% fat greek yogurt if you do. I love an overnight oat and usually make them this way with whatever I have, so you can swap in/swap out. I also added in some frozen raspberries but you can omit if you like. Finally, nuts are also just an added extra, feel free to omit.

Mix up the flavours, if you like – try chocolate protein powder or using freshly grated pear or apple instead of raspberries.

HOW TO STORE

Store in lidded jars.

HOW TO SERVE

Sprinkle with your favourite nuts or even a drizzle of peanut butter.

CAN IT BE MADE IN ADVANCE?

You can make these up to three days in advance but you may need to add a splash more milk before eating.

Cook’s tip: Boost your plant points

"To up the plant points of these overnight oats I added a handful of mixed berries (fresh or frozen) and blended the mixture with a pinch of spirulina and 2 tbsp flaxseed. The next day, top your overnight oats with even more plants - here I used chopped pistachios, goji berries, fresh blueberries and mixed seeds."
