  3. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Mixed Berries1 ⅓ cup berries, fresh or frozen & ½ teaspoon vanillaMix vanilla into yogurt mixture. Divide berries over 4 jars and top with yogurt mixture.
  • Strawberry Banana1 cup sliced strawberries & 2 bananasMash one of the bananas and stir into yogurt mixture. Slice remaining banana and divide over 4 jars along with strawberries. Top with yogurt mixture.
  • Apple Cinnamon1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla, 1 granny smith apple, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or use homemade apple pie filling)
  • Chop apple and toss with lemon juice and brown sugar. Stir cinnamon and vanilla into yogurt mixture. Divide chopped apple over 4 jars. Top with yogurt mixture.
  • Nutrition information does not include toppings.
  • Yogurt: Use flavored or unflavored yogurt. If using plain yogurt, you might like to add extra sweetener.
  • Oats: Old Fashioned Rolled Oats work best for this recipe. Steel cut oats work but will provide a different texture and need to be refrigerated for 2 days before eating.
  • Chia Seeds: Chia seeds make the best texture in this recipe. If you don’t have chia seeds, substitute ground flax seeds, finely chopped nuts, or even oat bran. This will change the texture.
  • Fruit: If using fruit that browns like apples or bananas, add a touch of lemon juice and place all of the fruit in the bottom of the jar so it is covered with the oat mixture.
