Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rolled oats
- 250 milliliters low-fat milk
- 100 grams plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 medium apple
- 1 medium banana
- 100 grams strawberries
- 50 grams walnuts
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and low-fat milk. Stir well to ensure the oats are evenly soaked in the milk.
Peel and core the apple, then grate it into the oat mixture. Stir to combine.
Peel the banana and slice it thinly, adding the slices to the bowl.
Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Slice them into small pieces and add to the oat mixture.
Chop the walnuts roughly and stir them into the mixture.
Add the plain low-fat yogurt for creaminess and mix everything together thoroughly.
Drizzle the honey over the combined mixture and sprinkle in the cinnamon for extra flavor.
Finally, add the chia seeds and give the mixture a final stir to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, either on its own or with a splash of extra low-fat milk if desired.
