Strawberry Season

Strawberries are in season and boy are they tasty! Grab a punnet as a go to snack with a handful of nuts, or chuck them in the blender with some almond milk, honey and ice.

This is one of our favourite ways to eat strawberries, our Almond Butter, Strawberry & Banana Overnight Oats with chia seeds. This is a great make-ahead protein-packed breakfast that will absolutely keep you full until lunch, or grab a smaller portion to avoid that 3pm slump.

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 2)

·           1 medium ripe banana, mashed

·           1 1/4 cups almond milk

·           1/2 cup  vanilla Greek yoghurt

·           1 cup gluten free rolled oats

·           1 tablespoons chia seeds

·           10 strawberries, diced

·           2 tablespoons almond butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1.       Add banana, almond milk and yoghurt to a medium bowl and stir until well combined and creamy. Stir in oats, chia seeds and strawberries. Divide evenly into two jam jars or plastic containers, then cover and place in fridge overnight.

2.       Once ready to serve, top each serving with 1 tablespoon of almond butter and a few extra banana slices and/or strawberries, if desired. If you like crunch, add chia seeds.

NOTES: To make dairy free: Use coconut yoghurt instead of Greek yoghurt.

Enjoy – remember, you are what you eat and you can’t out train a bad diet.
