Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk or water (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Protein Layer

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut/almond yogurt for vegan option)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (or thawed frozen berries)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons granola or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats with your choice of milk or water. Stir in chia seeds and a touch of sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight for a creamy, ready-to-eat base.
  2. Add the Protein: In the morning or the night before, layer Greek yogurt evenly over the oat mixture to add creaminess and a good dose of protein. Stir if you prefer a blended texture or leave as a topping.
  3. Top with Fresh Ingredients: Scatter fresh berries, sliced fruits, and a spoonful of almond butter on top to add natural sweetness and texture, ensuring each bite bursts with flavor.
  4. Sprinkle Crunchy Toppings: Finally, finish your bowl with a generous sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts for a satisfying crunch that complements the smooth base perfectly.

Notes

  • Use airtight containers to store bowls overnight and maintain freshness.
  • Balance tart fruits with mild sweeteners to create layered flavors.
  • Keep crunchy toppings separate until serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Experiment with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract for added warmth.
  • Pre-measure ingredients for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
