Kiwi Berry Overnight Oats
A super nutritious way to start the day!
As a nutritionist, this is my go-to breakfast to fuel a busy day and keep my body nourished and healthy. It’s so easy to prepare and great for meal prep, making it a perfect staple to add to your repertoire!
Choosing a balanced breakfast that delivers fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals is a great way to start your day!
Fibre
Dietary fibre is super important for gut health, feeding your microbiome and helping you to feel full. Oats, chia and kiwi are all delivering that fab fibre for us in this recipe. Oats even contain beta-glucan, a superstar soluble fibre that helps to lower cholesterol levels.
Protein
Protein is important for muscle health and recovery, as well as supporting satiety. For this recipe I add a protein powder for ease, but you can use high-protein yogurt, soy milk and/or peanut butter to bump up that protein intake!
Micronutrients
Kiwifruit is a fantastic source of vitamin C, as well as potassium, folate, and heaps of other vitamins and minerals that support our general health and wellbeing. Berries like raspberries are packed with antioxidants that help to reduce inflammation in our body. They’re also sooo easy to add to your oats - what a win!
