Ingredients: Assemble these ingredients & supplies:

Directions:Step 1. Assemble these ingredients & supplies:
Step 2. Add oats, milk, yogurt, and chia seeds to jar, along with desired sweeteners or flavors
Step 3. Put a lid on the jar and shake to combine. (I use white plastic jar lids sized to fit canning jars--they last longer than the metal tops and rims that come with the jars, and they are easier to screw on and off; some Walmarts carry them, and they're available on Amazon
Step 4. Add fruit and stir gently until combined.
Step 5. Place in fridge overnight and up to 2 days; maybe longer depending on the type and ripeness of the fruit. The non-banana varieties have been good after 4 days for me.
During the overnight soak, the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid and soften. They have a great eating texture by the next day.
