High-Fiber Oats with Berries

Ingredients

  • rolled oats160 g
  • chia seeds2 tbsp
  • ground flaxseed2 tbsp
  • full-fat Greek yogurt200 g
  • milk or plant-based milk300 ml
  • honey or maple syrup2 tbsp
  • vanilla extract1 tsp
  • banana1
  • fresh berries50 g
  • nut butter2 tbsp

Method

  1. 1Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds and ground flaxseed in a jar or container with a lid. Rolled oats are the right choice here — instant oats turn to mush overnight.
  2. 2Add the Greek yogurt, milk, honey and vanilla. Stir well. The mixture will look quite liquid, which is correct. The chia seeds absorb a significant amount overnight and the whole thing thickens considerably.
  3. 3Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. In the morning, give it a stir. If it's thicker than you like, add a splash of milk and stir again.
  4. 4Top with sliced banana, berries and a spoonful of nut butter just before eating. The nut butter adds fat that slows the glucose spike from the carbohydrates.
  5. 5Eat cold, or warm in the microwave for 90 seconds if you prefer it hot.
