Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Instant Oats (fine‑cut, 1‑minute oats)
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (freshly ground if possible)
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds (optional, add more for extra thickness)
- 1/2 cup Milk of Choice (dairy or plant‑based (almond, soy, oat))

Measure Dry Ingredients
Place 1/2 cup instant oats, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp chia seeds into the mixing bowl.
Time: PT2M

In a separate small cup, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup non‑fat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Time: PT2M

Pour the milk‑yogurt mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all oats are fully coated and the mixture looks uniform.
Time: PT3M
Transfer to Mason Jar
Spoon the oat mixture into a clean 16‑oz mason jar, leaving a little space at the top.
Time: PT2M
Add Berries and Seal
Top the oat mixture with 1/4 cup mixed berries, then screw the lid on tightly.
Time: PT1M
Shake to Distribute
Give the sealed jar a vigorous shake so that every bite contains oats, yogurt, cinnamon, and berries.
Time: PT1M
Refrigerate Overnight
Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 12 hours (overnight) to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid.
Time: PT12H
Temperature: 4°C
Serve
When ready to eat, give the jar another quick shake, then enjoy straight from the jar or pour into a bowl.
Time: PT1M
