A great pre-workout snack due to the high fibre content of all the ingredients, not to mention the protein from the chia seeds and nut butter with the added bonus of the potassium from the banana, who wouldn’t want to wake up to this?! Plus, because you did most of the work the night before you can just grab and go!
1 Tbsp chia seeds
75ml milk (regular or plant e.g oat, coconut, almond)
1 Tbspn chopped dates (equivalent to 2 whole pitted ones)
1 tspn almond/nut butter
1 medium banana
optional: 1 tspn lucuma powder

Directions
Pre-soak the dates in warm water for about 1 hour to soften them, then drain.
Mix the oats, chia seeds (and lucuma if using) together in a bowl
Blend together the milk, dates, almond butter and half the banana until smooth
Stir the mix through the oats and leave to set in the fridge overnight
Next morning top with slices of the remaining banana & if desired more nut butter
Enjoy!
