💪 Health Benefits of Each Ingredient

Rolled Oats:
A great source of complex carbs and fibre to keep you energized and full longer. They’re also great for gut health and stabilizing blood sugar.

Greek Yogurt:
Packed with probiotics and high in protein, it gives that creamy texture while supporting gut and bone health.

Chia Seeds:
Tiny but mighty! Full of omega-3s, fibre, and plant-based protein. They help thicken the oats while boosting nutrition.

Vanilla Protein Powder:
Adds a sweet flavour while boosting your protein intake — helping you build and repair muscles.

Coffee:
Gives that signature tiramisu flavour and a natural energy boost to start your day.

Light Cream Cheese:
Adds that classic tiramisu creaminess with less fat. It blends beautifully with the yogurt for that dessert-like texture.

Honey:
A natural sweetener full of antioxidants — it balances the coffee’s bitterness and enhances flavour.

Milk:
Use dairy or plant-based — both work perfectly to create that silky, pudding-like consistency.

Shaved dark chocolate
A sprinkle of crushed nuts
Cocoa nibs
A drizzle of honey or espresso syrup
Dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream
