Ingredients
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup rolled oats certified gluten-free if necessary
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract high quality for best aroma
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup optional, or 1-2 pitted dates
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes for a thick, frosty texture
Notes
For a 'Make-Ahead' version, blend all ingredients except ice the night before and store in a mason jar; the oats will soften further for an even creamier texture. You can substitute Greek yogurt with silken tofu for a vegan option. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though a quick re-shake may be needed as the chia seeds thicken over time.
