High-Fiber Oats with Berries
Rolled oats soaked overnight with chia seeds, ground flaxseed, Greek yogurt and milk.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 5Eat cold, or warm in the microwave for 90 seconds if you prefer it hot.
