Why people are talking about it
Overnight oats are one of the most-shared meal-prep breakfasts online, with endless 'jar of the week' flavour videos.
Why it's gut-friendly
Oats contain beta-glucan, a soluble fibre your gut bacteria can ferment. Adding yoghurt or kefir brings live cultures too.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (125 ml) milk of your choice
- ¼ cup (60 g) natural yoghurt or kefir
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Handful of berries
Method
- Combine oats, milk, yoghurt, chia and honey in a jar.
- Stir well, seal and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours).
- In the morning, stir, top with berries and eat cold.
Good to know
Make three or four jars on Sunday for an easy week of breakfasts. They keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
