One of my favourite breakfasts at the moment are overnight oats. They are the perfect meal prep recipe and loaded with protein and fibre.
You can make these so many different ways depending on the flavours you like. My two favourites are Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Banana Bread Oats.
Starting off your day with a high protein recipe is a great tool for blood sugar management, weight loss and sustaining energy throughout the day.
