Instructions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Seal and mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate overnight to allow oats to absorb liquid and flavors to develop.

  4. 4

    Remove from refrigerator, shake or stir the mixture in the container.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a bowl.

  6. 6

    Top with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.

    Drizzle with almond butter and serve.

Tips

Tip 1

Shake or stir the jar in the morning to redistribute settled ingredients before serving.

Tip 2

Adjust almond milk quantity based on preferred texture; use less for thicker consistency, more for creamier oats.

Good to Know

Storage

Sealed jar in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before eating as separation may occur.

Make Ahead

Prepare the oat mixture up to 5 days ahead. Add fresh berries and almond butter drizzle just before serving to maintain texture.

Serve With

Serve chilled directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Skip mixing well after refrigeration to avoid settling of chia seeds and uneven texture.
