How to Make Overnight Oats With Berries

In a medium-sized mixing bowl or two wide-mouth mason jars, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.

Whisk or stir the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and don't clump at the bottom.

Gently fold in half of the fresh blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight.

In the morning, remove from the fridge and give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, stir in an extra splash of almond milk.

Top with the remaining fresh berries and an optional sprinkle of granola or nuts for crunch before serving.

·
Avoid using steel-cut oats for this recipe as they will remain too tough; rolled oats provide the perfect creamy-yet-chewy texture.
·
If you use frozen berries, stir them in at night; they will thaw by morning and create a delicious berry 'syrup' throughout the oats.
·
For extra protein, stir in a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of your favorite protein powder before refrigerating.
·
Toast your nuts or seeds before adding them as a topping in the morning to maximize flavor and crunch.
