Sweet Blueberry and Salty Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Mornings don’t get much simpler and tastier than my sweet blueberry and salty peanut butter overnight oats. This recipe uses old-fashioned thick oats, crunchy or smooth (you choose) peanut butter, chia seeds, honey (optional), yoghurt and blueberries.
Whole grain oats are a complex carbohydrate with nutritional benefits. Oats breakdown to become energy that’s slowly absorbed by your body and that means it’s energy that will last.
This is why you use thick oats over that powder stuff… It takes longer to digest, keeping you fuller for longer (so that’s less of the 10 am snacks!).
There are endless flavours when it comes to overnight oats, so get creative or if you need some more inspiration, leave a comment and I will get back to you with a personalised recipe.

Then add the oats and blueberries to the jar and shake it again until it is a somewhat loose consistency, then pop in the fridge. 3. In the morning add the yoghurt, 1 tsp peanut butter, honey and chia seeds to the top BIFF, BOSH, MORNING NOSH! |
