Ingredients

1 cup dry (340g soaked) Oats — Soaking softens them without heat, and the beta-glucan does its cholesterol work either way.
3/4 cup (200g) Yogurt — The soaking liquid and the protein, plus live cultures if you buy it unpasteurised after culturing.
1 apple, grated (150g) Apple — Grated with the skin on. Its pectin is the soluble fibre that makes the bowl set overnight.
a small handful, chopped (25g) Almonds — Vitamin E and the only crunch in a bowl that is otherwise entirely soft.
a splash (100ml) Milk — Loosens it in the morning — soaked oats always thicken more than you expect.
