Ingredients:

  • 0.5 cup old fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 0.5 cup 2% milk (122g)
  • 0.25 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (5g)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (7g)
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract (1g)
  • 0.05 tsp sea salt (0.3g)
  • 0.25 cup fresh blueberries (37g)

Instructions:

  1. Place 45g rolled oats and 5g chia seeds into your jar. Note: Shake the jar to mix them before adding liquids to prevent chia clumps.
  2. Pour in 122g milk, 60g Greek yogurt, 7g maple syrup, and 1g vanilla. Note: You should smell the bright, floral vanilla immediately as it hits the milk.
  3. Add 0.3g sea salt. Note: This small amount is crucial for balancing the sweetness of the syrup.
  4. Stir the mixture vigorously with a spoon for 30 seconds until no dry oat pockets remain.
  5. Gently drop in 37g blueberries. Note: Don't over stir here or you'll crush the berries and turn the mix purple too early.
  6. Screw the lid on tightly and give the jar one firm shake. Note: This ensures the yogurt is fully distributed through the oats.
  7. Wait 10 minutes, then give it one last quick stir. Note: This prevents the chia seeds from sinking to the bottom.
  8. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours until the liquid is fully absorbed and thick.
  9. Before eating, stir once more and add a splash of extra milk if you prefer a looser consistency.
