Who loves breakfast? I love breakfast! Today I'm sharing one of my favourite adapted recipes - overnight oats with a walnut twist. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper. If you know me you'll certainly know I love breakfast and one thing in particular - overnight oats. The best thing I discovered a year or so ago to make my breakfast routine so much better.
A lot of issue people tend to have with breakfast as they aren't prepared. Honestly this takes hardly any time and it makes breakfast far more enjoyable. Probably 5 minutes if that? So have your dinner, clean up then do your overnight oats, then chill. Simple.
Anyways so with this recipe in particular, it includes chopped up walnuts which I didn't always add until recently. I have totally expanded this and basically had fun with fruit I use. It's basically my 'go to' breakfast on days I train a lot or just down fancy a smoothie or a shake. I'm hungry just typing about it!
Let's get to work what do you need?
1 cup of Oats
200ml of almond or rice milk unsweetenend
2 tablespoons of area protein yogurt
1 tablespoon of chia seed
1 teaspoon of sweet freedom fruit syrup
handful of blueberries
half a chopped banana
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts*
Instructions
Measure out 1 cup of oats and pop it into a bowl. Next add your yogurt, followed by your milk. Mix it all together. Then add your chia seed and chopped up walnuts and stir again.
It's a personal preference but I like to add in my teaspoon of fruit syrup at this stage along with my chopped up fruit. Again mixing it all together.
Finally I cover up my bowl and pop it in the fridge over night. In the morning I take it out the fridge and normally I was sprinkle chopped up walnuts on top and also a few extra blueberries. Then ta-da a breakfast fit for a king, and one that is super healthy and tasty, not to mention will 100% keep you going until lunch.
You can add all sorts of extras and have fun with this type of breakfast. I've tried different kinds of nuts but I particularly love chopped up walnuts because of their numerous health benefits. To find out more about recipes with walnuts have a look California Walnuts (those who gifted my walnuts)
