Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • ½ cup frozen mixed berries (70g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (125g)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (120ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (15ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut or almond)
  • 1 tablespoon slivered almonds or chopped walnuts
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Jar (2 minutes): Grab your mason jar or container and add ½ cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
  2. Add Frozen Berries (30 seconds): Toss in ½ cup frozen mixed berries straight from the freezer. Do not thaw.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients (2 minutes): In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk of choice, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Everything (1 minute): Pour the wet mix over the oats and berries in your jar. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and the chia seeds start dispersing. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
  5. Seal and Refrigerate (8+ hours): Screw on the lid tightly and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Enjoy Your Ready Breakfast: In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Add optional toppings like nut butter or nuts. Eat straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Notes

Do not skip chia seeds for the perfect thick texture. Use frozen berries for best texture and flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste. Add a splash of milk if oats are too thick in the morning. Can be stored up to 4 days in the fridge. For vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and non-dairy milk.
