Prebiotic-packed overnight oats
Stir in berries and apples for a hit of healthy compounds and top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, which has more protein than regular yogurt and keeps you fuller for longer, as the fat and protein help slow down your blood sugar response. This breakfast gets even more special when you add nuts and seeds; chia seeds are high in fibre, and pistachios are linked to lower levels of inflammation

Ingredients
- 125g rolled or porridge oats*
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1⁄2 tsp almond or vanilla extract
- 1 apple
- 275ml milk* of your choice, plus extra if needed
To serve
- 300g natural Greek-style yogurt*
- 2 nectarines, diced
- 100g blueberries
- 40g pomegranate seeds
- 40g pistachio kernels, roughly chopped
Step by step
- Put the oats in a lidded container and stir in the chia seeds, maple syrup, almond or vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Using the coarse side of a box grater, grate in the apple, skin and all (discard the core). Stir together, adding the milk, then cover and chill in the fridge overnight, letting the oats soak up the liquid and soften.
- To serve, add a splash more milk if needed to get the consistency you like. Divide the oats among cereal bowls, or lidded jars for a portable breakfast. Spoon on the Greek yogurt, then scatter over the diced nectarines, blueberries, pomegranate seeds and pistachios.
-
The soaked overnight oats (minus toppings) can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
*Use gluten-free oats and/or dairy-free milk and yogurt, if required.
