Overnight Oats w/ Banana, Flax + Probiotic Yogurt

A prebiotic breakfast that feeds your microbiome while you sleep.

Three of the most research-supported prebiotic foods — in one jar, ready before you wake up.

Oats contain beta-glucan, one of the most studied prebiotic fibers in the human gut — shown to selectively increase Bifidobacterium + Lactobacillus populations with regular consumption. Flaxseed adds lignans + soluble fiber that gut bacteria ferment into anti-inflammatory compounds. The overnight soak begins breaking down the oat structure, making prebiotic fiber more accessible to the bacterial populations waiting downstream. Probiotic yogurt delivers the live cultures this entire jar is designed to feed.

Overnight Oats

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1 cup plain live cultured yogurt

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond or oat milk

  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced

  • 1 tbsp almond butter

  • 1 tsp raw honey, optional

  • Pinch of cinnamon

  • Whole almonds, to top

  • Extra banana slices, to top

Benefits

  • Rolled oats → beta-glucan fiber selectively feeds Bifidobacterium + Lactobacillus, increasing microbial diversity + supporting the short-chain fatty acid production that regulates immune tone

  • Probiotic yogurt → live Lactobacillus cultures delivered alongside the prebiotic substrates in this jar that allow those cultures to establish and thrive

  • Ground flaxseed → lignans + soluble fiber fermented by gut bacteria into enterolignans — anti-inflammatory compounds that support microbial diversity + gut lining integrity

  • Banana → pectin + fructooligosaccharides provide dual prebiotic activity, feeding a broad range of beneficial bacterial species

  • Almond butter → polyphenols have demonstrated prebiotic activity, selectively increasing Bifidobacterium while healthy fats support gut lining integrity

  • Cinnamon → polyphenols selectively inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth while supporting beneficial populations responsible for short-chain fatty acid production
