Carrot Cake Overnight Protein Weet-Bix

If you’ve ever looked at carrot cake and thought, “honestly… I’d eat this for breakfast” - then this recipe by nutritionist @chenoahill is for you! It tastes like a treat, feels cosy and nostalgic, and delivers nourishment that sets you up for the day.

This is one of those low effort, high reward breakfasts that quickly earns a permanent spot in the rotation. You spend five minutes layering it together the night before, pop it in the fridge, and wake up to a breakfast that’s ready when you are! No cooking. No mess. No early morning brain power required. It’s especially good on busy mornings when you want something filling but can’t be bothered making anything from scratch.

Flavour wise, it’s very carrot cake coded. Lightly sweet, gently spiced, and finished with a creamy topping that makes it feel a little bit indulgent (in the best way). The grated carrot adds natural sweetness and fibre, the walnuts bring crunch and healthy fats, and the optional Functional Chai Latte gives it that warm, spiced depth that makes the whole thing feel extra comforting - like dessert, but socially acceptable at 8am.

What really turns this from “nice breakfast” into actually satisfying is the protein layer. Our THRIVE Vanilla Plant Protein blends straight into the yoghurt, adding a smooth vanilla flavour without any chalky texture or artificial sweetness. Beyond taste, it plays a big role in keeping you full, supporting muscle recovery, and helping stabilise energy levels throughout the morning - which means fewer mid morning cravings and more staying power between meals.

Like all Nu Harvest THRIVE Plant Protein blends, it’s formulated with functional ingredients that go beyond protein alone. Magnesium supports energy production and muscle function, digestive enzymes help your body absorb nutrients more efficiently (which matters when you’re fuelling busy days), and zinc supports immune and cellular health. It’s protein designed for real life - not just when you're working out.

Paired with the slow release carbs from Weet-Bix and the fibre rich carrot base, this breakfast delivers a balanced mix of protein, carbs, fibre and fats - the kind of combination that keeps you feeling steady, nourished and genuinely satisfied.

Finished with a lightly warmed cream cheese drizzle and extra walnuts on top, this overnight Weet-Bix hits that sweet spot between comforting and practical. It’s easy, dependable, and feels like a small act of self care you’ll actually keep up with.
