An NHS doctor has shared her go-to 'lazy girl breakfast' recipe, which she claims takes less than five minutes to prepare and keeps you full throughout the morning. Dr Monika Sharma, a GP and content creator known on TikTok as @lifewithdoctormon, posted the recipe in a recent video that has garnered over 9,000 views.
Dr Sharma's breakfast consists of oats, chia seeds, and milk or yoghurt, mixed together and left to soak overnight. She recommends adding toppings such as nuts, seeds, fruit, honey, or nut butter to suit personal taste. 'It's the meal I look forward to the most,' she said, adding that it is packed with protein and fibre to fuel busy mornings.
Health experts have highlighted the benefits of oats and chia seeds. According to Healthline, oats can aid weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce heart disease risk, while their fibre content promotes satiety. Chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, which may improve digestive health and blood sugar control.
Registered dietitian Maggie Michalczyk told Eating Well that incorporating oats into breakfast gives meals 'more staying power' and helps people feel fuller for longer. Dr Sharma's simple recipe aligns with these nutritional insights, offering a quick and customisable option for those with hectic schedules.
