Description
Prepare this simple, no-cook breakfast the night before for a quick, healthy meal ready when you wake up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, yogurt, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) in a jar or container with a lid.
- Stir the mixture well until the chia seeds and oats are fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries. If using frozen berries, they will thaw overnight and release juice.
- Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your preferred texture.
- Eat cold directly from the jar.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, increase the milk by one to two tablespoons.
- Add a scoop of protein powder with the dry ingredients for an extra protein boost.
- Top with nuts or seeds before serving for added crunch.
