Nutrition per serving
Nutritionist’s Note
I often suggest this bowl for clients managing PCOS or menopause because the 60 g of rolled oats together with chia and flaxseed supply a steady release of complex carbohydrates and 9 g of plant‑based protein, helping to stabilise blood‑sugar and support hormone balance. The 30 g of walnuts and the omega‑3‑rich chia seeds contribute 17 g of healthy fat and anti‑inflammatory polyunsaturated fats, while the turmeric and antioxidant‑dense berries further blunt systemic inflammation. At roughly 325 kcal and 10 g of fibre per serving, it’s a satisfying, nutrient‑dense start that keeps you full through the morning without excess calories.
Ingredients
- 60 g rolled oats
- 200 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 100 g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 30 g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (15 g)
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed (5 g)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional) (7 g)
- ½ tsp ground turmeric (2 g)
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (1 g)
- pinch of black pepper
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
- pinch of sea salt
Method
- Combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, flaxseed, turmeric, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a jar and stir to blend.
- Add the chopped walnuts and a pinch of black pepper, mixing gently.
- Fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- In the morning, give the oats a quick stir; add honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Serve cold or warm briefly in the microwave for 30‑45 seconds, then enjoy.
