High-Protein, High-Fibre Overnight Oats
I’ve been having this every morning for a month—full till lunchtime and my fibre intake is way up.
This recipe is adapted from The Doctor's Kitchen. It contains approx 25g of protein and is high in dietary fibre (18g). It is very
satisfying and always keeps me full until lunchtime. If you have a sensitive bowel, reduce the psyllium husks. Ingredients can be
bought in a health food shop
Ingredients
2 tosp oats
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
1 tbsp shelled hemp seeds
1 tbsp psyllium husks
1tbsp mixed milled seeds
250ml plus of milk, milk alternative or half water, half milk
Toppings of your choice, eg, 1 tbsp almond butter
berries, banana, grated apple, nuts, seeds, a little honey or chicory root syrup
M e t h o d :
1. Mix all dry ingredients together.
2. Stir in enough liquid to create a very wet, sloppy mixture - the psyllium husks will absorb a significant amount of water.
3. Leave in the fridge overnight.
4. Serve with your choice of toppings
5. Note if very dry or stodgy in the morning, simply add water or if you are taking a cholesterol-lowering functional drink, it is great poured over this.
Variations: You can create endless variations, leave out an ingredient if you cannot find it, mix it up with liquid and toppings you like.
Storage: Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. I tend to make a large batch of the dry
ingredients and then soak overnight as needed
