Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Mix. In a jar or bowl, stir together oats, milk, yogurt (if using), chia (if using), sweetener, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
  2. Chill. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Finish. Stir in the morning. Add a splash of milk if needed and top however you like.

Notes

  • Best eaten within 3 to 4 days for the freshest texture.
  • For thicker oats, add chia seeds or use a little less milk. For thinner oats, add more milk.
  • If adding protein powder, start with 1 tablespoon and increase gradually, adding extra milk to keep it creamy.
