Overnight oats in a jar
Make this creamy, crunchy ‘breakfast in a jar’ the night before and store in the fridge, ready to just grab and go in the morning! Use ground flaxseeds to add Omega-3 essential fatty acids to your diet (our bodies can’t make these so we have to get them through diet), in addition to fibre and antioxidants. Flaxseed also has oestrogenic qualities, so can support hormone health. Drink a glass of water along with the flaxseed to support healthy digestion.
