Greek Yogurt and Berry Parfait
Ingredients:
245g plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
75g mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon honey or a sugar-free sweetener (optional)
A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

Berry Protein Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
50g rolled oats
180ml unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
75g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1 scoop (about 30g) of vanilla or berry-flavored protein powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon almond butter (optional for added richness and healthy fats)
Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative)
Instructions:
Combine dry ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds.
Mix these dry ingredients together to ensure the protein powder doesn't clump when liquid is added.
Add the wet ingredients and berries: Pour in the almond milk and stir thoroughly to combine.
Ensure all the oats and chia seeds are submerged and the protein powder is well mixed.
Fold in the mixed berries gently into the mixture. If using almond butter, swirl it in at this stage.
Refrigerate overnight: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the oats to soak and the flavors to meld.
This will also give the oats a chance to absorb all the liquid and soften up nicely. Stir and serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, you can loosen them with a bit more milk. Taste and add sweetener if desired, adjusting to your taste. Add toppings and enjoy: Before serving, top with additional fresh berries, a sprinkle of nuts, or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
