Method

Mix rolled¹ oats, yogurt, milk⁶, chia seeds, and honey in a jar.
Add frozen berries on top or stir them into the base.
Seal with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Stir in the morning and check the thickness.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk⁶ if the oats are too thick.

Tips

Why it works: Chia seeds swell overnight and make the oats thick so they don't spread out. If they aren't soaked, they stay dry and feel like sand in your mouth.
Substitutions: Swap the honey for 10 g of sugar or agave syrup, but the oats will be sweeter. Use fresh berries instead of frozen, but add them only in the morning so they don't go soft.
Common mistakes: If the oats didn't swell overnight, there is too little milk or liquid. They will stay dry and hard, like porridge.
Storing and reheating: Keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Don't heat it up. Eat it cold or warm it slightly in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Serve with: Serve with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or nuts if you want more protein. Good for a quick breakfast before work.

In short

Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
