An easy workday breakfast for those with high cholesterol.

Overnight oats, or Bircher muesli, are the perfect healthy breakfast for busy people, with the added benefit of cholesterol-reducing oats.

Layer the ingredients in a jam jar, or other securely lidded container, and leave in the fridge overnight. The oats absorb the liquid - coconut milk drink in this case - and in the morning, you can simply grab and go.

Coconut milk drink can be found next to the soya milk in most supermarkets and contains a fraction of the calories of tinned coconut milk. Using a mix of oats and oatmeal also makes a more interesting texture, but you can make this with normal oats.
