- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (cow’s milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or kefir)
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds

- Chill Mixture: Divide the oat mixture evenly into jars or containers such as mason jars. Seal and store them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
