Overnight oats are a great way to balance blood glucose and reduce cravings. They are packed full of protein, complex carbs and fibre as well as many nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium, calcium and iron.
250g rolled porridge oats
500ml almond milk
100g flaked almonds
50g chai and freshly ground flax seeds
50g sultanas, raisins or chopped dates
4 oranges segmented and cut into small pieces (add any juice as well)
Add everything to a bowl, mix well, cover and leave overnight. The next day, loosen with a little more almond milk if needed.
I divide the mixture into jam jars, keep 3 in fridge (for next 3 days) and freeze some. put frozen ones into fridge the night before you want to eat them and they'll be fine to eat the following morning.
You can also top with berries, seeds, nuts, yogurt or a drizzle of honey!
