Ingredients

  • 60 g Rolled oats
  • 150 ml Milk (any type)
  • 60 g Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1 tsp Maple syrup
  • 60 g Fresh berries (topping)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix the base

    Combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a jar. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

  2. 2
    Refrigerate overnight

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and become creamy.

  3. 3
    Top and serve

    In the morning, stir the oats and add fresh berries. Adjust consistency with a splash of milk if too thick.

Notes

  • Use a mason jar for easy transport — take breakfast to work or the gym.
  • The 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid is the sweet spot for creamy-but-not-soupy oats.
  • Add protein powder the night before for a higher-protein version (25g+ protein).
