Salted Caramel Overnight Oats

The best breakfast is the one already made. This takes four minutes the night before and is ready the second you open the fridge.

Ingredients (one serve)

• 1 scoop Tri Blend Select Protein Shake Mix
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 150ml oat or almond milk
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• Good pinch of flaky sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. Put everything except the salt into a jar with a lid.
2. Shake hard for 15 seconds — harder than feels necessary. Chia seeds clump if they settle before the liquid is mixed.
3. Stir once with a spoon to catch anything stuck to the bottom.
4. Refrigerate overnight, minimum six hours.
5. Add the salt in the morning, on top, not stirred through. You want to taste it in bursts.

Why plant-based here

Tri Blend Select is built from pea, quinoa and rice protein, so it sets more softly with oats than a whey-based powder, which can go rubbery overnight. It is also vegan and gluten free if that matters to you or whoever you are feeding.

Topping ideas

Sliced banana and a few toasted walnuts. Or a spoonful of natural yoghurt and some blueberries. Keep the toppings separate until morning — anything fresh added the night before turns to mush.
