Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup berries or sliced banana

Method
 

  1. Add the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt to a jar with a lid.
  2. Stir well so no dry oats are stuck to the bottom.
  3. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. In the morning, stir, add a splash of milk if you like it looser, and top with fruit or nut butter.
