Servings

• ¹⁄₂ cup plain 0% Greek yogurt or Greek-style vegan yogurt (use Vanilla flavour for extra sweetness but decrease/omit maple syrup if using sweetened yogurt)

• 1 cup GF quick flake oats
• ¹⁄₂ tsp cinnamon powder
• 1.5 cup soy milk (add extra 1/2 cup for desired consistency)
• 1.5 tbsp black chia seeds

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

• Topping options: granola, mini chocolate chips, more fruit, or coconut whipped cream (I love adding Bran Buds for extra fibre)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a covered container. Mix until combined. OPTIONAL- add a scoop of your favourite protein powder to add extra protein. 

2. Refrigerate overnight or at least 2 hours and it’s ready to grab and go in the morning.

3. Top it with your favourite toppings! I top mine with a couple mini chocolate chips, granola,1 tbsp bran buds and a bit more milk.
