- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Fruits and Toppings
- 1/3 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries and raspberries)

Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a mason jar or small container, stir together the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, and almond extract until well combined.

- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together beautifully.

- Use frozen berries and cherries if fresh aren’t available; just be sure to thaw them before mixing.
- For additional nutrition, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter before refrigerating.
