1
First make your plan!
-
2
Choose your fruit, sweetener, flavor, & nuts.
-
3
Choose things you think will complement one another.
-
4
Prep your mason jar by cleaning/wiping it out.
-
5
Fill the dry jar with the rolled oats, milled chia seeds, & nuts of your choice.
-
6
(If you are using peanut butter - do not add yet)
-
7
Add your sweetener.
-
8
Some options to consider: sugar, brown sugar, steevia powder, maple syrup, molasses, agave, cane syrup.
-
9
(I like steevia personally for most combinations & it saves me some calories)
-
10
Prep your fruit.
-
11
Chop up larger pieces into bit sized bits.
-
12
If using fresh berries or grapes, cut in half so the flavors are released into the oatmeal.
-
13
Drain canned fruit or slightly thaw frozen.
-
14
Add to jar.
-
15
Add Greek yogurt.
-
16
Measure out milk.
-
17
Add any flavor extracts or spices being used to the milk & stir.
-
18
If using peanut butter, add to milk now & gently whisk until it is thinned out.
-
19
Add to jar & stir to combine all ingredients.
-
20
Place lid & ring on jar.
-
21
Put into the refrigerator & chill overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
-
22
Will last for upto four or five days.
-
23
So you can make ahead for the week.
-
24
Eat directly from the jar!
-
25
These are super versitile, but you might be overwhelmed by all the options.
-
26
So here are a few of my favorite combos to get your ideas going: *Kiwi, blueberry, & almond - using almond extract.
-
27
(Pictured) *Canned mandarin orange with cinnamon, walnut, & vanilla.
-
28
*Peanut butter & red grapes.
-
29
