Chef’s Tips

• Blend for a full minute. The oats need time to break down, and a short blend leaves the shake gritty.
• Use fat-free Greek yoghurt for the most protein for the calories. The full-fat kind is creamier, with a little less protein.
• For more protein, add a scoop of whey or pea protein powder and a splash more milk.

Pairing Suggestions

• A handful of almonds
• A boiled egg
• A piece of fruit

Storage & Reheating

Best drunk straight away. It keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours and thickens as it stands, so stir or shake it before drinking.
