Chef Guy Turland is swapping the kitchen for the pavement, gearing up to run a gruelling 100km ultra-marathon next month. But before he takes on the challenge, the Bondi Harvest favourite stopped by The Morning Show to share a simple, protein-packed overnight oats recipe designed to fuel training, recovery and busy mornings.
With a background in endurance running and a family history of elite athletes, Turland says nutrition plays a critical role in performance, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The make-ahead breakfast combines slow-release carbs, protein and fibre, offering a steady energy boost without the crash, making it ideal for athletes or anyone needing a quick, healthy start to the day.
