Cherry Choc Protein Oats

Cherry choc protein oats

Why this is peri-perfect… This creamy bowl hits all the peri-nutrition sweet spots. The protein powder and Greek yoghurt give you a solid 30g protein to keep you fuller for longer and support lean muscle. Rolled oats bring slow, steady energy for balanced moods and blood sugar, while cherries add antioxidants to help ease inflammation. The sprinkle of pepitas brings magnesium and zinc — two minerals your peri body leans on for hormone balance and nervous system calm. It’s comfort food that loves you back.
