Why it fits: Whole grain oats and chia bring soluble fibre, live-culture yogurt adds a fermented base, and berries add colour and polyphenols. Sweetness stays at about half a tablespoon of maple syrup per serving.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup milk
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
2 tbsp sliced almonds

Method

Stir the oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla together in a bowl.
Divide between two jars, cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
Top with berries and almonds before serving, loosening with a splash of milk if the oats feel thick.

Swaps and notes: Swap the milk for kefir for extra cultures, or use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
