ORANGEY & ZESTY 

Orangey Overnight Oats  

These joyful sunshine bars contain many of my favourite anti inflammatory ingredients - turmeric, seeds inc flax, oats, extra virgin olive oil, figs & ginger!

That’s because they are full of beneficial prebiotic fibre, polyphenols (plant compounds which have anti-inflammatory effects), phytoestrogens, vitamin A & E, Omega 3 oils, calcium & magnesium - all so important during the perimenopause & menopause at helping reduce symptoms.  

They are only faintly sweet in taste because I developed this recipe so I could have a portable breakfast meal. Check the flavour of the mixture before you tip it out into a baking tin. If it is not sweet enough for your taste, then add a little more. 

At my Retreats this year, I'll be making these bars, and talking in more detail about their benefits and why. For more information, please go to my Retreat page here. 

If you are following a low histamine diet then I suggest the following swaps:
*Swap all the seeds & nuts to a mixture of: chia, hemp, pumpkin. 
*Leave out the figs & yoghurt/kefir
*Swap the orange juice and zest for milk (cow or plant etc) or use water.
*Add 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger for flavour.



Overnight
1 Serve

Ingredients

40g/⅓ cup raw whole rolled oats (add more if this is not filling enough for you) 50mls/¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice & zest from half the orange (I used a large orange)* 
Squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 5mls)*
½ apple, freshly grated with skin left on
50mls water (less or more depending on how ‘sloppy’ you like your oat dish) 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds* 
½ tablespoon sesame seeds* 
6-8 raw almonds or chopped walnuts
1 dried fig, chopped *
Optional - 2 heaped tablespoons natural unsweetened yogurt or kefir* Optional - 1 tablespoons chia seeds or ground flax/linseed* 

*See low histamine swaps above. 


Method

Mix everything together in a bowl, cover and soak overnight.

If using chia or flax seeds you’ll prob need more liquid.

This overnight oats dish can be kept, stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.

This oat dish does not freeze well.
