- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (about 30 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (about 2 g)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (about 240 ml)

Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure smooth preparation.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to distribute flavors evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat the oats and seeds evenly. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to spread them without mashing.
- Transfer to Containers: Spoon the mixture into jars or airtight containers suitable for refrigeration.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the containers and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats to combine. If needed, add a little almond milk to adjust the consistency. Top with extra blueberries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Feel free to use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are unavailable; just thaw before mixing.
- You can prepare multiple servings ahead of time for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level or replace it with maple syrup.
- Customize by adding nuts, seeds, or other fruits according to your taste.
