Create Your
Own Recipe
MADE WITH CREAMY TRADITIONAL,
NON-GREEK YOGURT
Step One: Make the basic recipe.
Combine old fashioned oats, milk
(dairy or non-dairy; see our Guide
to Non-Dairy Milk on page 37), chia
seeds, and flax seeds in a jar and
shake well. You can also stir together
in a bowl.
FAMILIAR FLAVORS TO CALM THE AFTERNOON CRAVING
FOR SOMETHING SWEET AND CRUNCHY
Step Two: Flavor your base.
Add-ins that do not overwhelmingly
modify the nutritional value of your
oats include cocoa powder, honey,
maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon.
You can feel free to get creative with
other spices and extracts as well.
Find a variety of options in the spice
section of your local Price Chopper.
Step Three: Add healthy fats
(and crunch!)
Try adding a handful of nuts or seeds
for crunch and flavor. You can also
add a spoonful or two of your favorite
nut butter.
Step Four: Top with Fruit
For those of us who crave a sweet
element in our breakfast, fruit can be
the missing link! Conveniently, you
can use fresh or frozen fruit. If you
use frozen fruit, it will create a yummy
sauce as it thaws in the refrigerator
overnight. Added bonus – fruit can
provide fiber, vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants.
Step Five: Refrigerate
overnight; serve cold.

Add oats and milk to a large mason jar. Place lid on

Overnight oats are typically enjoyed
cold. If you prefer your overnight oats
warm, transfer them to a microwave-
safe bowl in the morning and
microwave for a minute or two.
