Joe Wicks’ tasty post-workout banana and chocolate overnight oats recipe
JOE Wicks is giving Sun readers an exclusive look at his new recipes and fave exercises to celebrate the upcoming release of his third book Lean in 15: The Sustain Plan.
Your daily meal choices will depend on whether you have completed one of Joe’s workouts that day or are having a rest day.
On workout days you must choose one post-workout, carbohydrate re-fuel meal, two reduced-carbohydrate meals and two snacks.
If you complete a workout in the morning, opt for a high-carb breakfast. If you sweat through exercise after work, choose a high-carb meal for dinner.
On rest days you can choose any three reduced-carb meals and two snacks.
Serves 1
HIGH CARB WORKOUT
Make ahead - longer recipe (quick to make but needs 8 hours soaking time)
Ingredients
250ml almond milk
2 scoops (60g) vanilla protein powder
1 ripe banana, roughly chopped
½ tbsp cocoa powder (over 70% cocoa)
75g rolled oats
A little grated dark chocolate, to serve
Just like cheese and wine, chocolate and banana were made for each other. This is a great way to use up bananas that are going black. As they overripen, they become softer and sweeter, both great things for the overall taste of this brekkie.

Method
Place all the ingredients apart from the rolled oats and dark chocolate in a blender and blitz until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the oats and stir well. Leave to soak in a sealable container for eight hours, or overnight.
When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle the dark chocolate over the top.
Next try Joe's Massaman curry or bashed pork.
