Simple to make

At the heart of the 101 plan is simplicity, none of us have hours to spend in the kitchen every day and that’s why we love breakfast overnight oats.

With cherries, chocolate, cinnamon and maple syrup, there is nothing not to love about this breakfast and to boost the protein content you can add in a scoop of your favourite protein powder. If you are sat wondering what in the world protein powder is don’t worry, you don’t have to have it, if you are eating a balanced diet you will pick up your protein in other meals across the day.

To make this even less effort you can make a few days’ worth at the same time – so long as you keep it covered it will be fine in the fridge for a couple of days.

This recipe makes two servings and takes around 10 minutes to make, and once you’ve made it a few times it’ll probably only take you 5 minutes to throw it all in a bowl.

Tips

As with all of our overnight oats recipes, you can bump the protein content by simply adding a scoop if your favourite protein powder to the mix.

Do measure the chocolate chips and the maple syrup, adding extra will quickly bump up the overall calories.
