Vanilla overnight oats with peanut butter recipe

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.
