Kefir Overnight Oats with Raspberries, Ground Flax & Dark Cocoa
Dec 16, 2025
Kefir introduces live microbes that interact synergistically with oat fibres, enhancing short-chain fatty acid production. Raspberries provide ellagitannins, which gut bacteria convert into anti-inflammatory urolithins. Ground flaxseed delivers lignans and soluble fibre that support microbial balance, while cocoa flavanols selectively increase Bifidobacteria.
Ingredients (serves 2)
80g rolled oats
250ml plain kefir
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
150g raspberries
½ tsp vanilla extract
Method
