Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 10 to 12 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup milk of any kind
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 cups mixed berries fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, old-fashioned oats, milk, and chia seeds. Stir until well mixed.
- Allow the oat mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This resting period lets the chia seeds absorb some liquid and thicken the mixture, making it creamier.
- Next, layer 1/2 cup of the mixture into each mason jar or storage container. As you do this, take a moment to appreciate the creamy texture and how it’s coming together.
- Top each jar with 1/2 cup of mixed berries. If you're using frozen berries, don’t worry; they’ll thaw overnight and infuse the oats with flavor.
- Repeat the layering process until you’ve used up the ingredients. It’s fun to see the layers build up, creating a colorful and inviting breakfast option.
- Finish with a sprinkle of sliced almonds on top for that perfect crunch. The contrast in textures makes it even more enjoyable!
- Seal the jars or containers with lids. This step is crucial to keep the oats fresh as they chill in the fridge.
- Refrigerate the overnight oats for at least 1 hour, but I recommend letting them sit overnight. This allows all the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Before enjoying, give your Protein Overnight Oats a good stir. This helps to mix everything up nicely, especially if the layers have settled.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your healthy breakfast that’s bursting with flavor and nutrition!
