There are loads of recipes out there and so many ways to eat overnight oats, that you can find one that you love. I made them a few different ways for my nephew and we landed on this one, which suits his needs for football and training as it has a decent about of protein, which he needs for re-build, repair and muscles & bones etc, in addition to carbohydrates for energy. This is overnight oats with chia and frozen berries.
This is the skin healthy smoothie from a recent podcast episode. It really made me feel glowing from the inside out, so hopefully it will do the same for you. Of course, if there are any ingredients which don’t agree with you, just leave them out or swap them and it will still be lovely.

You can keep a broccoli & carrot salad simple with just those two ingredients and add some salad dressing, but I like to add in a few more colours (i.e. nutrients).
Cannellini beans are a brilliant store cupboard staple. They are really convenient to add to soups, dips, stews and salads, thanks to their dense and creamy flavour.
