  • Total Time: Overnight + 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 medium banana, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 10 raw almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Gather one clean mason jar or glass container with a secure lid.
  2. Add the rolled oats to the jar.
  3. Add the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk.
  4. Sprinkle in the chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Add the vanilla extract.
  6. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  7. Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the creamiest texture.
  8. Remove the jar from the refrigerator 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Stir the overnight oats gently to redistribute the mixture.
  10. Top with the fresh blueberries, sliced banana, and chopped raw almonds.
  11. Serve cold directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl before enjoying.

Notes

Prepare the oat base the night before and add the fresh fruit and almonds just before serving to preserve their texture. If the overnight oats become too thick, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of additional almond milk until creamy.
