Ingredients

1/2 cup fruit diced
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp chia seeds or more for a thicker texture
1/4 cup vanilla flavored protein powder or other flavor
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond milk)

Instructions

Dice fruit: Dice your chosen fruit to the desired size (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in size)
Combine ingredients: Add all ingredients in a mason jar, bowl, or other suitable container. If using a mason jar or another container with a lid, cover and shake until thoroughly combined. If using a bowl, stir with a spoon and cover with plastic wrap.
Chill: Place in the refrigerator and chill overnight or for at least 4 hours.
Serve: When ready to eat, give the overnight oats a quick shake or stir. You can also add a splash of milk if you need to adjust the thickness. Enjoy it cold or warm up in the microwave if preferred. Add additional toppings such as nuts for crunchier texture.

Notes

If you decide to exclude the protein powder, you may need to add another form of sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup. The amount of sweetener you use should be suited to your taste.
