Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix rolled oats and chia seeds evenly to ensure oats absorb moisture and chia seeds distribute evenly for thickening.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and your choice of sweetener. Stir everything together until fully combined to coat the oats and chia seeds with the creamy mixture.
- Add Fresh Berries: Gently fold in your fresh berries, reserving some for topping later to keep them vibrant and juicy.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, allowing oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats gently, add extra toppings if desired, and enjoy your nourishing, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut oats require longer soaking.
- Adjust sweetness by starting with a small amount of honey or maple syrup and adding more to taste.
- Add berries last to preserve their fresh flavor and appearance.
- Mix the oats before eating to combine any separated liquids.
- Prepare multiple servings ahead for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast during the week.
