Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice (e.g., almond milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: maple syrup or honey (if added sweetness is desired)
Fruit
- 1.5 cups frozen fruit (such as berries, mangos, pineapple, etc.)
Toppings (optional)
- Nut butter
- Seeds
- Nuts
Instructions
- Prepare containers: Decide whether to prepare the oats directly in two jars or containers for minimal cleanup or prepare the mixture in a large bowl and later divide it into containers for a nicer presentation.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, mixing them thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, unsweetened milk, vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup or honey to the dry mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the oats are soaking in the wet mixture.
- Assemble with fruit: Transfer the oat mixture into jars or containers if not already done. Top each serving with 1.5 cups of frozen fruit, placing the fruit directly from the freezer so they thaw naturally while the oats soak.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jars or containers and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the oats from the fridge, add your choice of toppings such as nut butter, seeds, or nuts for added texture and flavor. Stir and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- You can customize the frozen fruit based on your preferences or seasonal availability.
- Maple syrup or honey is optional for added sweetness; adjust according to taste.
- Preparing in individual jars makes for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy or plant-based options like almond, soy, or oat milk.
- For creamier oats, add a bit more yogurt or milk to suit your desired consistency.
