Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)
  • Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats and 2 tablespoons chia seeds in a mixing bowl or mason jar.
  2. Pour 1 cup unsweetened almond milk over the oats and chia seeds and stir well to prevent clumps.
  3. Add ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt if using, and mix.
  4. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add sweetener if desired and stir to combine.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal if using and stir thoroughly.
  6. Fold in ½ cup fresh or frozen mixed berries gently.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  9. Serve topped with extra fresh berries, nuts, or nut butter if desired.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Stir chia seeds well to avoid clumps. Adjust milk quantity for preferred consistency. Avoid over-sweetening to maintain blood sugar control. Can substitute plant-based milks and yogurts as needed. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
