OVERNIGHT OATS — 3 WAYS
OVERNIGHT OATS:
3 WAYS
Recipe by Flora Szalai (ANutr)
3 days in the office? I got you. Here are my high protein, high fibre overnight oats in three flavours so you never get bored of breakfast. They all contain over 20g protein (ith no protein powder!), gut-friendly Greek-style yoghurt and natural sweetness from banana. The tiramisu is rich from the cocoa and gives you that morning coffee kick, the matcha is a more subtle energising option while the berries are rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.
Makes 1 of each: tiramisu, berry & matcha
Prep Time: 10 min
Needs to sit in the fridge overnight or a minimum of 2 hours
The recipes below are individually broken down, but in case you want to meal prep all three like I did, the base is the same; I used 2 bananas all together and divided them equally into the three jars.
TIRAMISU OVERNIGHT OATS
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup mashed banana
3 tbsp oats
2 tbsp chia seeds
120g Greek-style yoghurt (look for a high protein option and check the label for live cultures = friendly bacteria to support your gut health)
1 shot espresso, cooled
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup soy milk (or your fave) - add more if you like it thinner
METHOD
Mash the banana with a fork until smooth and runny.
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana with the remaining ingredients except half of the yoghurt. Mix well.
Top with the remaining yoghurt and a dusting of cocoa powder if you’re feeling fancy.
Refrigerate overnight or for up to 3 days.
When ready to eat, top with your favourite 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. 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.
