With ripe banana, crunchy almonds, and a healthy scoop of just better.® prebiotic fiber, our recipe is a simple way to start your day feeling steady and fueled. 

🍌 Ingredient Highlights

Bananas: A source of soluble fiber and natural sugars, bananas are easy to digest. They provide quick energy, help slow the absorption of carbohydrates when paired with fiber and healthy fats, and contain key nutrients like vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium. 

Oats: Old-fashioned oats are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that supports digestion, helps regulate blood sugar, and promotes a steadier energy release after meals. Their mild flavor and creamy texture make them a perfect base for gut-friendly breakfasts. 

Chia Seeds: A natural source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, chia seeds support digestive health and help maintain gut regularity. They also contain plant-based omega-3s that support a healthy inflammatory response. When soaked, they absorb liquid and create a thick, creamy texture that adds lasting fullness to your oats. 

Almonds: Naturally rich in healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein, almonds help support satiety and contribute to more stable energy after meals. They also offer vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants—nutrients that support overall metabolic health.
