# What You’ll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 2 cups milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
03 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 3 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup

08 - 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
09 - 4 tablespoons sliced almonds, optional
10 - Extra honey for drizzling, optional

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
02 - Divide the oat mixture evenly among 4 clean jars or sealable containers, approximately 1 cup per jar.
03 - Top each jar with a generous layer of fresh blueberries and 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds if using.
04 - Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve the desired texture.
05 - In the morning, stir gently, add an extra drizzle of honey if desired, and consume directly from the jar.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Nutrient-Dense: High in fiber from oats and chia seeds to keep you full longer.
  • Zero Cooking: Simply mix, chill, and enjoy.
  • Customizable: Easily adapted for vegan diets or different fruit preferences.
02 -
  • Sweetness Control: Adjust the honey or maple syrup to your taste preference after the oats have soaked.
  • Texture Balance: If the mixture is too thick, a small splash of milk in the morning fixes it instantly.
  • Allergen Safety: Use certified gluten-free oats if you have a gluten sensitivity.
