A breakfast super food thats ready in 30 seconds

Healthy carbs that keep you full

One of the best things you can eat for breakfast every morning is a bowl of oats. But we're not talking about just any oats.

Oats are packed with healthy carbs and are rich in fibre so they keep you full for longer.

Plus, they're low budget and simple to make. Boiling oats on a stove or popping a bowl into the microwave doesn't take forever, but it can be even quicker. If you're looking for a way to save extra time in the mornings, this is it.

Overnight oats
