Overnight Oats

Ingredients (for 4 Servings)

Uses the highly recommended Greek Yogurt and Chia Seed base for protein and texture.

• Rolled Oats (Old-Fashioned)
  2 cups
• Milk of Choice (Almond, Dairy, Oat)
  2 cups
• Greek or Vegan Yogurt
  1 cup
• Chia Seeds
  4 tablespoons
• Sweetener (Honey or Maple Syrup)
  4 tablespoons
• Vanilla Extract
  1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. 1. Combine Base Ingredients
   In a large container (or 4 individual jars), combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon or whisk to mix thoroughly until there are no clumps and all oats are submerged.
2. 2. Chill and Soak
   Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak for a minimum of 2 hours, but ideally **8 hours (overnight)**, to achieve the best pudding-like texture.
3. 3. Top and Serve
   The next morning, the oats will be thick. Uncover, give it a quick stir, and top with your favorite additions (fruit, nuts, spices, or peanut butter). If the mixture is too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of extra milk or water until desired consistency is reached.

Quick Facts

Clever Customization Tips

• Peanut Butter Delight:  Add 1 tbsp of peanut butter and a pinch of cinnamon to the base before chilling.
• Chunky Monkey: Top with sliced banana, chocolate chips, and crushed walnuts right before serving.
• Texture Tip: Use old-fashioned rolled oats only. Quick oats will turn to mush, and steel-cut won’t soften enough.
• Meal Prep: These keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them perfect for your Sunday prep routine.
