Is this even healthy?

Are you thinking that because of the chocolate chips? Yes, friend, I consider this a healthy breakfast!

It’s all about your priorities. Chocolate chips give this a slight crunchy texture and extra sweetness, and is still made nutritious with the power of oats and Greek yogurt.

Dark chocolate chips can be heart-healthy too, when eaten in moderation!

What kind of oats are best?

For me, rolled oats are a great option. It gives the oatmeal a creamy texture and just works better.

Quick oats would work too, but they may be a bit mushier. And steel cut oats need more liquid and more soaking time.

Ingredients

• Rolled oats (Also called old fashioned oats)
• Milk
• Greek yogurt
• Chia seeds
• Vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips (Use dairy-free chocolate chips if needed)
• Maple syrup

Additions/Substitutions

• Milk: Use dairy milk or your favorite dairy-free milk like almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, coconut milk, and soy milk.
• Yogurt: Use non-dairy yogurt if you need to!
• Healthy fats: Add peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter, or flax seed if you want to replace the chia seeds.
• Protein powder: Vanilla or chocolate protein powder would taste great in this!
• Cocoa powder: For an extra chocolate taste!

How to make

In a small Mason jar, combine all of the ingredients. Place the lid on top and place in the fridge overnight, or at least 4 hours.

The next day, remove the lid and stir again, and enjoy with your favorite toppings.

How to store

Mason jars are fun, but you can also keep them in an airtight container. These will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days, so these are a great meal prep breakfast!
