Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of sea salt
- Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds or walnuts
- Optional: A dollop of almond butter or a sprinkle of hemp hearts
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a large glass jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed, which prevents clumping later on.
- Pour the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the oat mixture. Use a whisk or a large spoon to stir vigorously until everything is well incorporated. Ensure no dry pockets of oats remain at the bottom of the container.
- Seal the container with a lid or cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though letting it sit overnight is ideal. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, resulting in a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- In the morning, give the mixture a quick stir. If it seems too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. Divide the mixture into two bowls. Top each bowl with a handful of fresh berries, a sprinkle of nuts, and any additional superfoods you enjoy. Serve immediately while cold.
