Fuel My Friday: Rollinson's Overnight Oats

27 Jan 2023

The first competition of the year means the first competition-feature #FuelMyFriday of the year! Diver Amy Rollinson brings us her pre-training overnight oats that effortlessly fuel her sessions...

Ahead of next week's British National Diving Cup, springboard-specialist Amy Rollinson talked us through how she fuels those gruelling 6am sessions, and that preparation is key to allow tunnel-vision focus on training. By preparing overnight oats the evening prior, the Dive London athlete can simply grab her breakfast from the fridge and head straight to training with minimal disruption. Whilst the recipe is incredibly versatile to include any flavour variation, the Commonwealth medallist opts for a black forest combination to eat 'on-the-go'.

Ingredients: 

Serves 1

  • 40g rolled oats
  • 10g cocoa powder 
  • 10g chia seeds
  • Drizzle of honey

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 40g frozen berries (cherries/blackberries/raspberries etc.)
  • 1 tsp chocolate chips
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • 150ml milk
