Notes

Yield: This recipe makes enough for one serving.
The nutritional information is for a recipe made with old-fashioned rolled oats, plain low-fat Greek yogurt, skim milk, and chia seeds. Mix-ins, sweeteners, and toppings are not included in the calculation.
Ingredient substitutions:
  • Oats: If you're sensitive to gluten, be sure to purchase gluten-free rolled oats.
  • Milk: This recipe is great with all types of milk including cow milk, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, etc. 
  • Yogurt: To make this recipe vegan, use your favorite plant-based, dairy-free yogurt. 
  • Sweetener: To make this recipe vegan, swap the honey for maple syrup.
Storage: Store overnight oats with yogurt in airtight sealed jars or containers in the refrigerator for up to five days. If you added fresh fruit directly to the overnight oat mixture, it's best to enjoy within three days.
