Tips
Shake or stir the jar in the morning to redistribute settled ingredients before serving.
Adjust almond milk quantity based on preferred texture; use less for thicker consistency, more for creamier oats.
Good to Know
Sealed jar in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before eating as separation may occur.
Prepare the oat mixture up to 5 days ahead. Add fresh berries and almond butter drizzle just before serving to maintain texture.
Serve chilled directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Common Mistakes
Skip mixing well after refrigeration to avoid settling of chia seeds and uneven texture.
Use too little liquid to avoid oats remaining hard and grainy.
