Equipment
- medium bowl
- mason jars
Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt Opt for plain to reduce added sugars.
- 1 cup Milk Unsweetened almond milk works great as a dairy alternative.
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Essential for preventing clumping and absorbing liquid.
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats Choose rolled oats for the perfect consistency.
For Toppings
- 1 cup Mixed Berries Fresh or frozen can be used.
- 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds Optional for crunch; add just before serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, milk, and chia seeds. Whisk until smooth and creamy to create a delicious base.
- Add the old fashioned oats to the mixture, carefully breaking up any clumps. Your mixture will thicken as it sits.
- Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes to bloom the chia seeds, increasing their absorption of liquid.
- Divide the mixture into mason jars, layering it with your chosen mixed berries.
- Top each jar with the remaining berries and sprinkle sliced almonds on top for a delightful crunch.
- Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour—or overnight for the best results.
Notes
Feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired. Experiment with different fruits and toppings to personalize your oats.
