Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal
Description
Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal starts with mixing rolled oats and chia seeds with yogurt and milk, which provides moisture and creaminess. The mixture is assembled in containers, alternating layers with fresh or frozen fruits such as berries, mangoes, or peaches. Once covered and refrigerated overnight, the oats and chia seeds hydrate, softening to a pudding-like texture without cooking.
The chilled oatmeal is ready to eat straight from the fridge, making it a convenient choice for busy mornings. The texture is creamy and tender with bits of fruit distributed throughout. Using yogurt adds protein and tang, balancing the subtle earthiness of oats. The recipe is adaptable to various fruit and milk types.

- 1 ⅓ cups milk or almond or soy milk
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt or any flavor
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2-3 cups Fruit fresh or frozen including berries, mangoes, peaches etc.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, yogurt and milk
- Layer fruit & yogurt mixture in containers
