Ingredients:
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for a vegan
option)
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Toppings (optional): Fresh fruits, nuts, nut butter, granola,
coconut flakes
Preparation Method:
Combine ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl or
a mason jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek
yogurt, almond milk, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and a
pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly
combined.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or seal the mason jar and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a pudding-like texture.
Serve: The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add toppings: Customize your overnight oats by adding your favorite toppings such as sliced fruits, nuts, nut butter, granola, or coconut flakes.
Enjoy: Enjoy your overnight oats cold straight from the refrigerator, or warm them up if you prefer a cozy breakfast.
