Recipe Notes

Tip: You can enjoy these oats straight away or refrigerate overnight for a creamier texture and an easy grab-and-go breakfast the next morning.

Psyllium husk:
– Psyllium husk is a source of soluble fibre. You can add this to your overnight oats if you want to up your fibre content.
– If you’re not used to consuming this, limit yourself to max 5g and only increase once you are used to it.
– Ensure you consume an adequate amount of water throughout the day.
– It can be used to support the management of IBS, and to support increased fibre intake.
– It attracts water in your digestive system and turns into a gel, which can both soften and bulk up stools.
– Due to it expanding quickly and drawing in liquid, it is important that you remain optimally hydrated throughout the day.
– Psyllium husk should not be used as a replacement for fibre, and should be consumed as part of a healthy, balanced, food-first diet.
– Please consult with a health professional before consuming if you have a gastrointestinal condition, swallowing problems or on medications.
