Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey (raw preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • 1 banana peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut (shredded, unsweetened)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Jar or container
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the old-fashioned oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  2. Slice the banana and mix it with the orange juice in a separate bowl. This will prevent the banana from browning and add a citrusy flavor.
  3. In your chosen jar or container, start by adding half of the oat mixture. Then, layer on half of the banana and orange juice mixture, followed by half of the raspberries. Repeat this layering process with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of your layered oatmeal. This will add a delightful crunch and enhance the tropical flavor.
  5. Cover the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, give it a good stir and enjoy your Refrigerator Oatmeal with Bananas and Berries straight from the jar or transfer it to a bowl!

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, let the oats soak longer—up to 24 hours if you can wait!
  • Mix the ingredients in a large batch for up to three days of breakfasts ready to go.
  • Try adding other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or even diced apples for variety.
