Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • to taste Optional: Stevia or other natural sweetener

Preparation

In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, mixed berries, almond milk, and vanilla extract. If using, add stevia or your preferred sweetener to taste. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined.

Refrigeration

Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soften and the chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a creamy texture.

Serving

In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. You can add fresh berries or a sprinkle of nuts for added flavor and texture before serving.
