    Recovery meal with jetlag

    Changing time zone? Help your to body adjust as soon as possible with regular meals as well as outdoor activity. With slowly digested (and comforting) carbs to fuel you, this high-fibre breakfast will also help avoid constipation. The magnesium in the oats and seeds, and the melatonin in the cherry juice will help with sleep and re-setting your body clock.

    Cherry juice is available from health stores and is often called tart cherry.

    This will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Add some frozen cherries to give another texture and flavour. You can use a mix of any frozen berries.
