Ingredients
- Skyr200g
- Rolled oats40g
- Blueberries80g
- Chia seeds10g
- Honey10g
Method
Add the skyr to a bowl and stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the rolled oats and chia seeds, then mix thoroughly so the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the skyr.
Leave the mixture to stand for 3β5 minutes. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften slightly while keeping the bowl thick and satisfying.
Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry. Scatter them over the skyr mixture, reserving a few for the top if desired.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the blueberries and skyr. For easier drizzling, warm the honey briefly by standing the container in warm water, but do not overheat it.
Serve immediately for a thicker, more textured breakfast, or cover and refrigerate overnight for a softer overnight-oats consistency.
If preparing ahead, add the blueberries just before eating to keep their colour and freshness. Stir gently before serving so the chia seeds remain evenly dispersed.

How to use this plan
This plan provides approximately 1,750β1,840 calories per day, averaging about 1,793 calories. It also provides around 115g of protein daily. This calorie level is designed to support a balanced eating pattern alongside your currently low activity level, while the protein helps with fullness, recovery and maintaining lean muscle.
Use the listed portions as your guide, especially for calorie-dense ingredients such as oils, nuts, seeds, avocado, cheese, rice and sauces. Preparing grains, roasted vegetables and proteins in batches can make the plan easier to follow. Keep the herbs, spices, marinades and sauces varied to enjoy the different cuisines and flavours without needing to change the overall structure.
Aim to eat regularly, drink water throughout the day and eat slowly enough to notice your hunger and fullness. If you swap an ingredient, choose a similar portion and protein source where possible. Since you have a shellfish allergy, check labels carefully for shellfish, shellfish-derived ingredients and possible cross-contact warnings, particularly on sauces, curry pastes and packaged foods.
