Rich in protein, complex carbs and fiber. Delicious and highly nutritious. Easy to prepare and you can have it at anytime.
Ingredients
- chia seeds
- hemp seeds (hulled)
- a Banana
- raisins
- oats
- cinnamon
- fresh milk
Preparation
To a large bowl add:
- rolled oats (1/3 bowl)
- a dessert spoon of chia seeds
- a dessert spoon of hemp seeds
- yogurt (1/3 bowl)
- mix the yogurt, oats, chia seeds and hemp seeds
- add fresh milk and mix some more
- place in the fridge overnight
Next morning remove from fridge, add a sliced banana, add a dessert spoon of raisins, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon, mix it all and enjoy!
In winter after removing the bowl from the fridge you may wish to place it on the microwave for 1 minute (to bring contents to room temperature). Take out of the microwave and then add the sliced banana, raisins and sprinkle some cinnamon.
Notes
Chia Seeds
A nutritious little seed high in polyunsaturated fats. Chia seeds have a subtle nutty taste which allows you to add them to anything you eat or drink. Chia seeds absorb up to 10 times their weight in water leaving you fuller for longer.
Hulled Hemp Seeds
A tasty, nutty seed, rich in protein. Hulled seeds have had their shells removed to provide you with delicious, easy to digest seeds high in protein and essential fatty acids.
Raisins
Seedless, sundried, preservative- and sulphur-free are the best. Raisins add sweetness and energy.
My favourite brand for chia seeds, hemp seeds and raisins is Nature’s Choice.
Yogurt
Go for plain yogurt with live bifidobacterium cultures and make sure it is preservative-free. My preferred choice is Woolworths’ AYRSHIRE Full Cream Plain Yogurt.
