It's something that we have been enjoying as a family and even though we are now in February we still want to continue with the health kick. In one month I have lost a stone, all by making a few changes and planning and I really hope that my weight loss continues. If you're trying to shed a few pounds or you have decided to try and eat better let me tell you about some overnight oats that are the perfect way to begin your day. Most people on the slimming world plan rave about these overnight oats and I have to say I completely understand why so many love them, they are super tasty. 


These apple cinnamon overnight oats are so easy to make ahead breakfast for all those busy mornings on the go. As a busy work from home mama I know only too well how easy it is to skip breakfast. So what better way to make sure I get a good breakfast than with a few ingredients and a little preparation.

A heart healthy diet should include whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, lean protein, and should limit fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. This is why these overnights are so popular as it really does tick off so many boxes. And it's so quick and easy to prepare. Trust me, you'll love these. 

To make these super tasty apple cinnamon oat you'll need:

40 g Porridge Oats
100 g Fat Free Natural Yoghurt
1 Apple, chopped
1 tsp Granulated Sweetener
1 pinch Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

To make these super tasty apple cinnamon oats you will need a jar or bowl, as it will be easier when it comes to layering. Weigh out 40g of oats and then add the cinnamon and granulated sweetners to the oats then mix well. 

Take your jar or bowl and then begin layering the ingredients. First add the oats, then the yoghurt and then top with fruit. Continue until you have used all the ingredients and then add the vanilla extract. 

Cover and put in the refrigerator overnight so the porridge absorbs all the yogurt. In the morning stir so all the layers are mixed together and top with more fruit.
