Blueberry Vanilla Protein Oats

Blueberry vanilla protein oats

Why this is peri-perfect… This breakfast hits all the right notes for midlife balance. The oats and blueberries bring gut-loving fibre to keep digestion smooth and steady blood sugar on track. Greek yoghurt and protein powder deliver that crucial 30g of protein your body needs in perimenopause to protect muscle, boost metabolism, and keep you satisfied for hours. And those roasted almonds? Just the right touch of healthy fats and crunch to keep hormones happy. It’s a simple, nourishing bowl that feels indulgent while giving your body exactly what it needs to thrive. And, I don’t like to play favourites with Peri Plan recipes, but I could eat this every day.

Serves 1

Ingredients

25g rolled oats (¼ cup)

100ml water (or unsweetened almond milk if you prefer)

80g blueberries, frozen fine (defrosted)

150g Greek yoghurt (thick and creamy)

25g vanilla whey protein powder (or your fave vanilla protein)

5g roasted almonds (for crunch)

Instructions:

1.     In a microwave-safe bowl, combine oats and water. Cook for 90 seconds until soft and creamy.

2.     In a separate bowl, whisk the protein powder into yoghurt until smooth (add a splash of water if it feels too thick).

3.     Spoon the yoghurt-protein mix over the oats.

4.     Top with blueberries and a sprinkle of almonds ( I love roasted almonds for extra crunch).

5.     Swirl together and enjoy your blueberry vanilla protein hit!
