Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the base by pulsing the cottage cheese, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender until velvety, or stir them together in a glass jar for a curded texture.
  2. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt to the liquid mixture. Stir vigorously with a fork or seal the lid and shake the jar for 30 seconds to ensure chia seeds are well integrated.
  3. Secure the lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to hydrate and chia seeds to bloom.
  4. Stir the oats once more in the morning. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Top with fresh berries before serving.
