Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra protein)

1 banana, sliced

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans), chopped

1/4 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Add the Banana: Gently fold in the sliced banana, making sure the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

      Layer and Store: Divide the mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers. Layer some of the mixed nuts and berries on top, reserving a few for garnishing later.

        Refrigerate: Cover the jars or containers tightly with lids and place them in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

          Serve: In the morning, take the overnight oats out of the fridge. Give them a good stir, adding more almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Top with the remaining mixed nuts and fresh berries. Optionally, drizzle a bit more honey or maple syrup on top.

            Enjoy: Dig in with a spoon for a wonderfully satisfying and energy-boosting breakfast!
