Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125g) plain non fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (7g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Measure the oats. Pour 1/2 cup (45g) of rolled oats into your jar or container. Note: Using a dry jar prevents the oats from sticking to the sides.
  2. Add the seeds. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon (12g) of chia seeds. Distribute them evenly across the oats.
  3. Pour the liquids. Add 1/2 cup (120ml) of unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup (125g) of Greek yogurt.
  4. Sweeten and season. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon (7g) of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and that crucial pinch of salt.
  5. Initial stir. Use a long spoon to reach the bottom corners. Stir until no dry pockets of oats remain.
  6. Wait and repeat. Let the jar sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. Watch for chia clumps that love to hide at the bottom.
  7. Seal it up. Screw the lid on tightly. This prevents the oats from absorbing fridge smells like onions or leftover takeout.
  8. The cold soak. Place in the fridge for at least 6 hours. Until the oats are plump and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  9. Morning fluff. Before eating, give it one final stir. If it's too thick, splash in a teaspoon of milk to loosen it up.
