These tasty overnight oats are the perfect breakfast option for those with a busy schedule
This chia, mango and pomegranate bircher is a cross between a chia pudding and a bircher muesli.
It's not only loaded with slow-releasing carbohydrate to top up your glycogen levels and keep you going through your morning workout, but also protein, vitamin C, polyphenols, fibre and important minerals such as calcium, potassium, folate and magnesium. Best to eat an hour or so before exercise.
The night before, or at least 2hrs before you want to eat, mix the oats and chia seeds in a bowl with the milk and vanilla, if using. Halve the mango, remove the stone and dice into small cubes. Mash half of the mango with a fork and stir into the mixture. Add the remaining mango cubes and the pomegranate seeds. Cover and refrigerate.
When ready to eat, stir in the yoghurt. Transfer to bowls to serve, drizzle with honey or maple syrup and scatter with a few extra chia seeds and pomegranate seeds.
