Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup mixed berries blueberries, strawberries, raspberries
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional

Instructions
 

  • Mixing the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1/2 cup of rolled oats. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  • Layering the Oats and Yogurt: Take a jar or glass and spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture into the bottom. Add a layer of mixed berries on top. Continue layering the yogurt mixture and berries until you reach the top of the jar or glass.
  • Adding Chia Seeds and Berries: Sprinkle a few extra chia seeds on the top layer for added crunch and nutritional boost. Finish with a generous handful of berries on the top.
  • Refrigeration Time: Cover the jar or glass with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Notes

  • Use fresh berries when in season for the best flavor. Frozen berries are a great alternative and can be thawed slightly before use.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor.
  • Substitute dairy-free yogurt for a lactose-free option, such as almond, coconut, or soy yogurt.
  • Variations:

    • Tropical Fruits: Swap berries for mango, pineapple, and kiwi for a refreshing twist.
    • Seasonal Variations: Use strawberries and rhubarb in spring, peaches and blueberries in summer, apples and cinnamon in fall, and pomegranate seeds and citrus in winter.

    Storage:

    • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The texture will become thicker over time as the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid.
