Ingredients for Overnight Oats for Weight loss Recipe

• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

• ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

• 1 tsp chia seeds

• ½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)

• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

• ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix oats & chia seeds

   Use a mason jar for easy grab-and-go. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add protein and omega-3s.

2. Add liquids

   Use your favorite milk: almond, soy, oat, or dairy. For extra creaminess, add Greek yogurt. Stir really well to avoid clumps.

3. Add berries

   Fresh or frozen berries work. Frozen berries defrost overnight and add a natural sweetness.

4. Refrigerate overnight

   Let the oats soak at least 6 hours. The longer they soak, the creamier they get.

5. Serve & enjoy
   Stir the oats and top with remaining berries, sliced banana, nuts, or granola. Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. Grab a spoon and enjoy straight from the jar or in a bowl.
