  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (180 ml)
  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (75 g) – blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey (21 g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12 g) – optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (30 g) – optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using).
  2. Add 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (if using). Stir gently to combine.
  3. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir again to distribute evenly.
  4. Top the mixture with 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries. No need to thaw them.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over the top or stir it into the mixture. Adjust honey to taste.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds are optional but recommended for thickness and fiber. Frozen berries add vibrant color and flavor year-round. Adjust milk amount for desired consistency. Add honey just before eating to preserve flavor. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt or omit.
