About the Recipe
Getting a good dose of fibre and protein is great way to fuel up for the day, or as a post-workout calorie replenisher. And this jar of goodness is packing 12g of protein and 13g of fiber, according to the recipe's creator (see link below). The added pecans and chia seeds provide a nutritional source of unsaturated fats to fuel your brain, as well as a source of potent antioxidants (also good for your grey matter!). The unsweetened almond milk won't raise your blood sugar and, along with the oats, will have you feeling full and satisfied for hours!
