Ingredients

½ cup Liquid of choice dairy milk, almond, cashew or coconut milk
½ cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tbsp Chia seeds
¼ cup Yogurt optional

Instructions

Add the desired amounts of milk, oats, yogurt, chia seeds and banana to a mason jar and give them a good stir.
Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours.
In the morning, add additional to achieve the desired consistency you'd like. top with fruit, nuts, nut butter, seeds, protein powder, granola, coconut, or spices.

Notes

Add chia seeds first –I like to add the chia seeds first with just the oats and liquid, then let it sit for a few minutes before adding the other ingredients. This allows the oats and seeds to fully absorb the liquid and results in super thick, delicious oats!
Meal prep – Overnight oats lasts in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Simply store in an air-tight container and portion out a serving each morning to enjoy throughout the week.

*Nutrition facts use "almond milk" as liquid ingredient.
