INGREDIENTS

• 1 ripe banana

• 3 tbsp oats

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1/4 cup plain yoghurt (check the label for live cultures = friendly bacteria to support your gut health)

• 1 tbsp of your favorite nut butter (I used natural peanut butter here)

• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 cup soy milk (or your fave)

METHOD

1. Mash the banana with a fork until smooth and runny.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana with the remaining ingredients and mix well.

3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or for up to 3 days.

4. When ready to eat, top with your favorite granola, nut butter, chia jam, or fresh fruit — the possibilities are endless!
   

   Pro Tip #1: For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of protein powder (Emily’s pick: Form Unflavoured Vegan Protein Powder). Mix it first with an equal amount of milk before stirring into the mixture in Step 2.
   
   Pro Tip #2: Emily’s go-to live yogurt is Yeo Valley Organic 0% Greek Recipe Yogurt for a creamy, gut-friendly addition.
