Overnight Oats with Chia Pudding and Fruit Puree

No-cook layered breakfast combining rolled oats, soy yogurt, chia seed pudding, and fruit puree. Prepare in jars the night before for grab-and-go mornings. The chia pudding thickens as it sits, creating a creamy texture throughout. Eat directly from the jar with a long spoon, mixing layers or eating them in sequence.
