This recipe was inspired by an awesome client of mine, Ruby. It is one of her favourite breakfasts as it’s so easy to prepare the night before. I’ve guesstimated a recipe as I don’t think she really uses one, and most of the time I admit, neither do I. Most of my cooking is just throwing in whatever I feel like and guessing quantities. So I have to concentrate when I want to write them up to share!
This is super easy, throw together the night before and leave in the fridge goodness.
It’s healthy, full of good fats and low sugar. If you are gluten intolerant, check the labels of the oats you buy as oats are often cross contaminated with wheat. Look out for wheat-free or gluten-free oats, and you can make a gluten-free version. Oats may not be good for the very sensitive or coeliac as some you may be reactive to oats. You know your body best so do what works for you.

Hey Lu, would coconut water be a good alternative to the milks?
