Supports Your Gut, Balances Blood Sugar & Keeps You Full for Hours
If you’ve ever skipped breakfast and found yourself raiding the biscuit tin by 10am… this one’s for you.
Let’s talk about a simple, powerful breakfast that works with your body — not against it. It’s perfect if you’re trying to lose weight, support your gut, and feel energised all morning long.
Protein-Packed Overnight Oats with a Gut-Boosting Twist
Here’s what’s inside:
• ½ cup oats – A fantastic source of soluble fibre, especially beta-glucan, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports a healthy microbiome. Oats also help regulate digestion and give you long-lasting energy.
• 1 tbsp chia seeds – These tiny powerhouses are loaded with fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. They support regular bowel movements and help reduce inflammation in the gut.
• 1 scoop Forever Ultra Lite – High-quality plant-based protein keeps you full, helps balance blood sugar, and supports lean muscle. Protein also slows down digestion, which keeps cravings at bay.
• ½ banana, sliced – Adds natural sweetness, potassium, and resistant starch — a type of prebiotic fibre that helps feed your good gut bacteria.
• Handful of berries – Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and more fibre. Berries are gentle on the gut and help fight inflammation.
• Almond milk or water to mix – A lighter option than dairy that keeps the recipe gut-friendly.
• Optional: Sprinkle of cinnamon – Helps regulate blood sugar and adds a warming, comforting flavour.
Why This Works for Gut Health:
This breakfast is rich in prebiotics (what your good bacteria love to eat) and fibre (which keeps everything moving). By feeding your microbiome the right kind of fuel first thing in the morning, you’re setting yourself up for better digestion, less bloating, and even improved mood and immunity.
Why It Keeps You Full for Hours:
The magic trio of protein, fibre, and healthy fats slows down digestion and keeps your blood sugar stable. That means no spike-and-crash cycle that leaves you hangry an hour later. Instead, you’ll feel steady, satisfied, and ready to take on your day.
