Overnight Protein Oats

Breakfast is one of the hardest meals for a lot of people, especially if you're not hungry first thing, you're rushing, or you simply don't have the executive function for cooking at 7am. This is one of my go-to solutions.

Overnight oats take five minutes the night before and zero effort in the morning, which makes them genuinely ADHD-friendly as well as nutritionally brilliant. This version packs in around 45g of protein per serving alongside fibre, omega-3 from flaxseed and slow-release carbohydrates for sustained energy.

Oats are my favourite breakfast particularly as you can serve them with so many different flavours and toppings.

Servings: 1

Prep: 5 mins (plus overnight soaking)

Instructions:

- 40g oats

- 40g quinoa flakes

- 150-200ml soya milk (or milk of your choice)

- 1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder (optional)

- 9g flaxseed seeds (milled)

- 4g pumpkin seeds

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

- 30g fresh blueberries

- 50g fresh banana (sliced)

Method:

1. Mix all ingredients apart from the fresh fruit and leave overnight in the fridge.

2. Top with fresh banana and berries when ready to serve.

3. If you wish to have warm you can microwave for one 1 minute before serving, you may want to add a dash of milk if you find the consistency too thick.

4. For a sweeter option or to increase the carbohydrate content add 1-2 tsp of maple syrup or more fruit.

If you don't have or prefer not to use protein powder, adding ground almonds will also increase the protein content.
