Packed Full Of Vitamins:

Strawberries are packed with vitamin C and also rich in fibre to help balance blood sugar levels and support digestive health.

The oats and strawberries are rich in B vitamins essential for energy and supporting the body during times of stress while the milk provides plenty of protein to keep blood sugar levels stable and a feeling of fullness.

You can also use the oat topping as the basis of a crunchy muesli – simply add some dried fruit and store in an airtight container. This would also make an ideal pre and post-exercise shake too.
