For a gut-friendly and no faff breakfast recipe, why not try this kefir overnight oats. A mild, live yoghurt drink, kefir is a great source of probiotics. Add to it the oats, fruit, nuts and seeds and you’ll have started your day with a gut-friendly thumbs-up.

Ingredients

  • 80g jumbo oats
  • 200ml kefir natural, unsweetened
  • 200ml apple juice
  • 2 tsps chia seeds

  • 2 tsps toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tsps sunflower seeds
  • handful of berries (try pomegranate seeds, raspberries, blackberries)
