Instructions
-
Prepare Base
- In a jar or container, mix rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined.
-
Refrigerate Overnight
- Cover and place in fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. The oats will absorb liquid and thicken.

-
Serve
- Enjoy straight from the jar/container cold, or microwave for 30–40 seconds if you prefer it warm.
Additional Notes
- Adjust liquid depending on desired texture (more milk = creamier, less = thicker).
- Chia seeds help create a pudding-like texture.
- If using frozen blueberries, thaw slightly before topping.
