Instructions
- In a clean jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats as the base layer.

Tips
- Choose Your Base: Experiment with different types of milk or yogurt, such as almond milk or coconut yogurt, to find your perfect flavor combination.
- Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, or even try mashed fruit for a natural sweetener.
- Chia Seed Magic: Don’t skip the chia seeds! They not only boost nutrition but also help thicken the oats, giving you a delightful texture.
- Layer Smartly: For a beautiful presentation, layer your ingredients instead of mixing them all together. This way, you can see the vibrant colors of the fruits and oats.
- Prep in Batches: Make several jars at once for a quick grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week. Just store them in the fridge and enjoy!
- Top It Off: Get creative with your toppings! Add nuts, seeds, or fresh berries in the morning for an extra crunch and burst of flavor.
- Keep It Airtight: Use a container with a tight-fitting lid to keep your overnight oats fresh and prevent any spills in the fridge.
