Are ELEAT Overnight Oats good before or after a workout?Updated 9 days ago

Yes — and they're genuinely one of the best breakfasts you can have around training.

Here's why ELEAT works either side of a workout:

Before training:

  • Slow-release carbs from oats give you sustained energy without a sugar spike.
  • 20g of plant protein helps protect muscle during the session.
  • Easy to digest if you've soaked them overnight — try to eat 1–2 hours before training so your body has time to break it down.

After training:

  • 20g of protein hits the recovery window your muscles want.
  • The carbs help replenish glycogen stores that you've burned through.
  • Pumpkin seeds add magnesium, which supports muscle function and recovery.

If you're training first thing in the morning, having ELEAT the night before (or 2–3 hours before training, soaked) is a popular routine. Post-workout, they're ready to go straight from the fridge — no faff, no shaker bottle.
