Ingredients
  

½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned works best)

½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or your milk of choice)

¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

½ tablespoon chia seeds (optional but great for texture)

½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a combo)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey for sweetness

Optional toppings: extra berries, chopped nuts, almond butter, or protein granola

Instructions
 

Mix it up:

    In a jar or airtight container, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla, and any sweetener. Stir well.

      Add berries:

        Toss in fresh or frozen berries. No need to thaw — they’ll soften overnight.

          Chill:

            Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.

              Enjoy:

                In the morning, give it a quick stir. Add toppings like nut butter or granola, and dive in!

                  Notes

                  Variations and Flavor Ideas

                  Think of oats as your breakfast canvas — mix, match, and have fun.
                  • Berry Blast: Use a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
                  • Chocolate Almond Dream: Add cocoa powder and almond butter.
                  • Peanut Butter Banana: Classic gym favorite, sweet and salty.
                  • Tropical Sunrise: Coconut milk + mango = summer in a jar.
                  All of these still keep the high-protein overnight oats base strong and satisfying.

                  Meal Prep & Storage Tips

                  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in sealed jars.
                  • Make a batch on Sunday — you’ll have breakfast ready till Thursday.
                  • Frozen berries? Totally fine. They thaw and infuse flavor overnight.
                  • Want it warm? Microwave for 30–45 seconds and stir.
                  These oats are ideal for on-the-go breakfasts, healthy meal prep, or post-workout fuel.

                  Chef’s Notes & Tips

                  • Add cinnamon or cocoa powder for flavor depth.
                  • Use flavored protein powder to change the vibe (vanilla, chocolate, berry).
                  • Top with almond butter or walnuts for a healthy fat boost.
                  • Swap berries for apples, peaches, or cherries when they’re in season.
