Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 4 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line up two small 8 ounce jars and add 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 tablespoons oats, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to each jar.
  • Add 1 cup milk to each jar.
  • Stir to combine and close the jars tight.
  • Shake the jars to make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and there is no clumping.
  • Refrigerate for 15 minutes. The cereal gets thicker the longer it sits.
  • Enjoy in the jar or dump out into a bowl. Top with fruit and nuts of choice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the cereal well before storing as chia tends to clump up. 
  • You can make this Whole30 compliant by skipping the maple syrup and oats.
  • Sweeten with a mashed or sliced banana or other fruit instead.
