Kiwi Chia Overnight Oats

A creamy, make-ahead breakfast packed with fibre from rolled oats, chia seeds and ground linseed, topped with fresh kiwi fruit. These kiwi chia overnight oats are easy to prepare the night before and make a convenient breakfast when you're looking to add more fibre to your day.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Chilling time: Overnight
Serves: 1

Ingredients

• ½ cup rolled oats

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tbsp ground linseed

• ½ cup milk (or lactose-free milk)

• ¼ cup Greek yoghurt (or lactose-free yoghurt)

• 1 tsp maple syrup, optional

• 1 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced

Method

1. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds and ground linseed to a jar or bowl.

2. Pour in the milk and add the yoghurt and maple syrup, if using. Stir until well combined.

3. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, until thick and creamy.

4. In the morning, stir well and add a splash of milk if you'd prefer a thinner consistency.

5. Top with fresh kiwi fruit and enjoy.

Oats, chia seeds and ground linseed all contribute GEL fibre, which absorbs water and helps support stool consistency. Kiwi fruit is also worth including, with research suggesting it may help improve constipation for some people.

If you're not used to eating much fibre, start with smaller amounts of chia and linseed and build up gradually as tolerated. You can always add a little more milk if your oats become too thick.
