A grab-and-go suhoor that gives slow energy, keeps you full, and is super easy to prep the night before.
Serves: 1 (double it for more)
Time: 5 minutes prep + overnight chill
½ cup oats
250 ml milk (or almond/oat milk) or ½ milk + ½ yoghurt
1 tbsp chia seeds
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt (optional but makes it taste better)
1–2 chopped dates or 1 tsp honey
Berries or sliced banana/apple
Nuts (almonds/walnuts/pistachios)
Seeds (pumpkin/sunflower/flax)
1 tbsp peanut/almond butter (extra filling)
1) Mix the base
In a jar or bowl, add oats + chia + cinnamon + pinch of salt.
Pour in milk (and yoghurt if using).
Stir well for 20–30 seconds so the chia doesn’t clump.
2) Sweeten lightly (optional)
Add chopped dates or a drizzle of honey and stir again.
3) Chill overnight
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
4) Finish in the morning
Stir again.
If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk/water and loosen it.
Add your toppings (fruit + nuts/seeds).
Eat cold straight from the jar, or warm it for 30–60 seconds in the microwave if you prefer.
