Equipment

  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk or Spoon For thorough mixing
  • 2 Airtight Jars or Containers For individual servings and overnight storage

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 5.3 oz. greek yogurt plain
  • 1 cup milk/milk alternative
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tsp honey
  • 1 oz. freeze-dried raspberries
  • 2 scoops collagen peptides optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain Greek yogurt, milk or milk alternative, and chia seeds.
  • If using, add the collagen peptides to the mixture, ensuring they are well dispersed with the liquid ingredients.
  • Add the honey to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon and adding more if a sweeter profile is desired.
  • Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the oats, chia seeds, and yogurt are completely incorporated and the mixture is homogenous.
  • Gently fold in the freeze-dried raspberries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  • Divide the mixture into two individual airtight jars or containers.
  • Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and soften.
  • Before serving, give the oats a final stir. If too thick, add a small splash of milk or milk alternative.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy your prepared overnight oats.

Notes

1. For the best texture, ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The chia seeds need to be fully hydrated to prevent a clumpy texture. A good stir before chilling and again before serving is crucial. 2. Adjust the amount of milk or milk alternative to achieve your preferred consistency; add a splash more if it's too thick, or a bit more chia if you prefer it thicker. 3. Freeze-dried raspberries offer an intense flavor burst and a delightful textural contrast. If using fresh raspberries, add them just before serving to maintain their freshness and avoid them becoming too mushy. 4. Collagen peptides are optional but blend best when added to the liquid ingredients before the oats, ensuring no lumps.
