Eat Well Recipe: Sea Moss Infused Overnight Oats [Breakfast]
Sea moss is a nutrient-dense seaweed containing 92 of the 102 minerals the body needs.1 When combined with fibre-rich oats and protein-packed hemp hearts, it creates a slow-release energy source perfect for metabolic health.

Tips for Success (Diabetes Prevention)
Sea moss is rich in fucoxanthin, a compound that may help improve insulin sensitivity and support blood sugar balance.2 This recipe is specifically designed to prevent glucose spikes by utilising "The Power Trio": Fibre, Protein, and Healthy Fats.
The soluble fibre in the oats and chia seeds creates a gel-like substance that slows down the digestion of carbohydrates. By adding toasted hemp hearts, you introduce essential fatty acids and plant-based protein, which further flattens the glycemic response. Using Ceylon cinnamon is a deliberate choice, as it is known to mimic insulin and improve glucose transport into cells.3 To keep this dish diabetes-friendly, avoid honey or maple syrup; the natural sweetness from the berries and the nuttiness of the toasted hemp provide ample flavour without the metabolic strain.
