These oats can really be customized to your liking. Feel free to sub different berries or add different toppings. They last up to 5 days so it's a great idea to meal prep for a quick breakfast in the morning.
First, you want to blend your milk and dates together. Blending the dates in the milk will make a natural sweetener. Optional: You could also use a tablespoon or two of date syrup or maple syrup and just stir it in instead of blending dates.In a mason jar or bowl with a lid, add the berries, oats, chia seeds and then the milk. Stir it all together. You want to make sure all the oats have been touched by the milk.
Cover and then place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, open and stir it again. If there’s too much liquid you can add more chia seeds or oats, mix again and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. You can also add other toppings like nut butters, granola, banana or more berries. These can be made 5 days in advance so you can make more for additional days. Either eat them cold or heat them up, whatever you like!
