It is the perfect grab-and-go meal for busy professionals, requiring zero morning prep and offering a refreshing, fiber-rich start to your day.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk (whole, almond, or soy)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats and chia seeds in a clean glass jar or sealable container.
Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt to create the base.
Add the pitted and halved cherries to the container.
Stir all ingredients thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and no dry pockets remain.
Seal the container tightly.
Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours before serving.
Notes
For best results, store in the refrigerator overnight. You can use frozen cherries if fresh ones are out of season; simply thaw them slightly before adding. Feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter breakfast.
