These overnight oats are not only delicious but also incredibly customisable. Feel free to mix and match flavours, adjust sweetness levels, or add extra ingredients. I love adding YoPRO for a boost of protein and flavour, but you can use your own protein powder with Greek yoghurt instead. Oats are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making them an excellent choice for breakfast. Plus, preparing them overnight saves you precious time in the morning.
