CARROT CAKE OVERNIGHT OATS

SERVES 1 | TAKES 5 MINUTES (+ SIT TIME OVERNIGHT)

• NOURISH NOTES

  Carrots are an excellent source of beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant that is converted to vitamin A by the body to improve skin health and complexion. Chia seeds and walnuts provide your body with a source of omega 3 fatty acids to help reduce inflammation and protect your brain health. The spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger are all naturally warming in traditional Ayurvedic nutrition to help improve digestion. The oats are a source of complex carbohydrates providing your body with energy, while the plant protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer and provides the building blocks to your muscles - making this a perfectly balanced breakfast to have you glowing from the inside out!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 - 1/2 cup quick oats

• 1/2 - 1 carrot, grated

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1/2 tsp each of allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger

• 1 tbsp sultanas

• 1 scoop vanilla plant protein powder of choice

• 1 cup plant milk of choice

• 1/4 cup water

  Topping ideas:

1. Banana, sliced

2. Blueberries

3. Walnuts

4. Plant-based yogurt

5. Sultanas

   METHOD

6. Place all dry ingredients into a jar or container that can be sealed overnight.

7. Pour in the milk and mix well until everything is combined.

8. If the mixture is too dry, pour in 1/4 cup extra water (this will depend on the protein powder you use and the amount of carrot you put in). You want a consistency that is slightly more liquid than you would want to eat as the moisture absorbs overnight.

9. Cover and leave to set overnight.

10. In the morning, top with fruit, yogurt, walnuts and enjoy!
