Choc Protein Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are one of my favourite breakfasts of all time as they're so convenient, nutritious and there are so many different combinations to try that it's impossible to get bored with them. Just throw all of your ingredients together in a bowl the night before, cover, refrigerate and voila, you have a nutrition-filled breakfast with no prep time required. This recipe is packed with plant protein, healthy Omega 3 fats, anti-oxidants and slow release carbs to ensure that you stay full, satisfied and energetic for your busiest of work days.
