Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds add thickness and fiber but are optional. Adjust milk amount for preferred consistency. Frozen berries thaw overnight and add natural sweetness. Store in airtight containers up to 4 days. Stir before serving. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and milk with plant-based milk.
