Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)

Fruit or Vegetable Add-ins

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen fruit or vegetable of choice (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, spinach, mango)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until creamy and well combined. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a 16-ounce jar and use an immersion blender carefully inside the container until smooth and creamy.
  2. Refrigerate: Divide the blended mixture into two glass jars or bowls. Cover them with lids or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and thicken.
  3. Serve: Uncover and enjoy the blended overnight oats directly from the glass container the next day. If the texture is too thick, thin with a bit more milk or water according to your preference. Add any toppings either the previous night or right before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the fruit or vegetable based on your taste and nutritional preference.
  • Using Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein to the recipe.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and provide extra fiber and omega-3s.
  • This recipe can be kept in the fridge up to 3 days for convenience.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dish, adjust the honey or maple syrup quantity to taste.
  • Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture; immersion blender works well for smaller batches.
