Energise your day with a breakfast that’s as convenient as it is nutritious. This quick and delicious overnight
oats recipe from the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet makes for the perfect start to your day.
This high-protein recipe is ideal for refuelling post-training or energising your body 2-3 hours before a workout. Crafted with busy lifestyles in mind, it’s the ultimate grab-and-go option for those who stay active and anyone seeking a healthy breakfast routine amidst life’s hustle and bustle.
Get creative with your mix-ins! Swap out peanut butter for nut-free options such as three teaspoons of chia seeds, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin seeds, 1.5 teaspoons of tahini or 1.5 teaspoons of sunflower seed spread. Don’t like peanut butter, but can have nuts? Try 1 heaped teaspoon of almond or cashew spread or 1-2 teaspoons of slivered almonds, pistachios or walnuts.
