Overnight oats are a very easy way to get in some fantastic nutrients with minimal effort. My favourite thing about them is that because you made them the night before, you can grab and go.
There are a few key nutrients in this recipe that make it a great choice for supporting hormonal balance.
Oats are a gluten-free whole grain and contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Best of all, they have been shown to support insulin sensitivity which is an important factor for balancing female hormones.
I’ve included flaxseeds in this recipe because they contain phytoestrogens. The clever way that phytoestrogens work is by binding to oestrogen receptors which helps the body modulate how much oestrogen it pumps out.
Last but not least - it’s delicious!
Ingredients
● 50 grams of oats
● 100 ml water
● 1 tablespoon coconut yogurt
● 1 heaped tablespoon protein powder - I love Pulsin Pea Protein because it is neutral in flavour
● 1 tablespoon pomegranate
● 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed
● Small handful of berries
Method
In a jar or glass, mix together the oats and water, leave in your fridge overnight.
In the morning, stir the protein powder into the mixture. You may need to add or drain some
water.
Layer on the coconut yogurt, pomegranate and berries. Sprinkle with ground flax seed.
NOTE: If you prefer porridge hot, warm the oats in the morning in a pan over low heat, then add protein powder and toppings.
