Overnight oats are so easy to prepare (these take 2 minutes to make) and the magic happens while you sleep. The combination of oats, chia and nuts will provide you with a dose of protein, fibre and slow release energy that will help with blood sugar spikes and keep hunger at bay until lunchtime. And the berries are a lovely dose of vitamin C (45mg per strawberry), which is great for our immunity over winter and general cell health. Strawberries also act as antioxidants within our bodies, this means that they help control and destroy oxidising free radicals, which can cause many illnesses. They’re also full of fibre which is great for aiding and helping our process of digestion.
